Usenet Etiquette

I've been using news groups for quite a while now. Out there people are quite picky about the format the messages are submitted in. Since there are a lot of 'newbies' in this area, there are quite a few webpages summarizing Usenet Etiquette. If you are not using it, once in while you'll get slapped back with a message suggesting you to do so, which becomes annoying in a sense as well. In my opinion, most of them make sense, giving you a better efficiency and making your point clear to everyone.

Here are couple of guides. If you go to one page, most likely it will link you to another one.

• Why is Bottom-posting better than Top-posting
• The art of Quoting (good manners in posting on Usenet)
