The Ten Commandments of E-mail

The Ten Commandments of E-mail:
- Thou shalt include a clear and specific subjectline.
- Thou shalt edit any quoted text down to the minimum thou needest.
- Thou shalt read thine own message thrice before thou sendest it.
- Thou shalt ponder how thy recipient might react to thy message.
- Thou shalt check thy spelling and thy grammar.
- Thou shalt not curse, flame, spam or USE ALL CAPS.
- Thou shalt not forward any chain letter (Am I guilty...).
- Thou shalt not use e-mail for any illegal or unethical purpose.
- Thou shalt not rely on the privacy of e-mail, especially from work.
- When in doubt, save thy message overnight and reread it in the light
of the dawn.

And, here's the "Golden Rule" of e-mail:
- That which thou findest hateful to receive, sendest thou not unto
others.
