:::One-on-One Communication (electronic mail, talk):::
::User Guidelines::
:For Mail:
...A good rule of thumb: Be conservative in what you send and liberal in what you receive. You should not send heated messages (we call these "flames") even if you are provoked. On the other hand, you shouldn't be surprised if you get flamed and it's prudent not to respond to flames.
...Remember that people with whom you communicate are located across the globe. If you send a message to which you want an immediate response, the person receiving it might be at home asleep when it arrives. Give them a chance to wake up, come to work, and login before assuming the mail didn't arrive or that they don't care.
...Know whom to contact for help. Usually you will have resources close at hand. Check locally for people wwho can help you with software and system problems. Also, know whom to go to if you receive anything questionable or illegal. Most sites also have "Postmaster" aliased to a knowledgeable useer, so you can send mail to this address to get help with mail.
...Remember that the recipient is a human being whose culture, language, and humor have different points of reference from your own. Remember that date formats, measurements, and idioms may not travel well. Be especially areful with sarcasm.
...Use mixed case. UPPER CASE LOOKS AS IF YOU'RE SHOUTING.
...Use symbols for emphasis. That "is" what I meant. Use underscores for underlining. _War and Peace_ is my favorite book.
...Use smileys to indicate tone of voice, but use them sparingly.
:For talk:
...Remember that talk is an interruption to the other person. Only use as appropiate. Never talk to strangers.
...The reasons for not getting a reply are many. Don't assume that everything is working correctly. Not all versions of talk are compatible.
