I'd like to introduce something that we should all examine and adopt as 
needed (with a tip of the hat to the model railroad forum that I got this 
from):

The 10 Commandments of Email:

Thou shalt include a clear and specific subject line.

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.

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.

...and my 2 cents worth as the 11th commandment:
Thou shalt not "dis" thy neighbors' rig on the list, whether it be a 
Ten-Tec or from another manufacturer.

Makes good sense to me...
