I find it facinating how a document written over a decade ago still has a lot of value today.
Some of it is very dated; I don't think all of you will understand the context of the time this was written. I daresay some of you think that the world wide web *is* the internet! However, as a source of netiquette, it is a very valuable read and won't take too very long.
Is this some joke I dont get ?Quote:

lol @ jowy's pic.
I don't get this.
I learned what "tl;dr" means the other day. I think it applies here.
In summary
Hey! Don't be a dick!
I laughed at

Sorry guys I can't talk to you any more. Netiquette said you're a bad influence.Quote:

use as appropriate. And never talk to strangers.

YOU ALL FAIL AT NETIQUETTE.
btw, I've heard that it's easier to read caps than lowercase.
Ever heard of Shakespeare?:rolleyes2Quote:

Shakespeare didn't write about the rules of sending messangers on horseback.Quote:

you didn't hit x-quote did you?Quote:

Who the hell was Shakespeare? Did he run a message board or something?Quote:

For some reason there is no quote button at the bottom of your posts, rubah. I had to copy, paste, etc., but that's not the case with the other posts...odd. Have you been disturbing the gods of quote? :pQuote:

farplaner, if you would care to check out the artist forum, you will see intimately how familiar I am with shakespeare.
However, he was not defining the behavior of a group of peoples in a society that is known for its rapid [progress and] change. The internet was fledgling then, and a tiny entity compared to the mass of commercialism and idiocy that it is now today. That the mode of utelizing it for communication still would benefit from the ideals set forth in that document is surprising. The point isn't the time. If you were arguing that, then the bible would be far more impressive :p Unless you don't think that stealing and murdering is bad, but whatev. The point is the nature of the document and the environment it was intended for. Many things from that time are not as relevant as it once was (gopher, archie, etc)
You've have thought they would've learned by now, but I guess not.

You got that right. All I'm saying is that many "documents" (generally speaking) have been written more than a decade ago that are still relevant today. I chose Shakespeare as my example simply because he is very recognizable.Quote:

It was a simple, if not at all funny, joke. The end. :tongue:
