Treat other people with respect and courtesy, especially in reference to social, cultural, and ethnic differences.  Don't use sarcasm. It often falls flat and doesn't come across as you intended.  Be careful with humor. The reader doesn't have the benefit of your facial expression, body language, or tone of voice. You can use emoticons or "e-mail body language" such as ;) for a wink or :( for a frown.  Cooperate and share. Consider yourself a quest on the system just as if you were in someone's home. Be willing to share information with others on the Internet. In exchange for help and information you receive, be willing to answer questions and to share your resources.  Carefully consider copyright. Just because something can be copied electronically doesn't mean it should be distributed without permission. Unless stated otherwise, all material on the Internet is copyrighted.  Be alert for obscenity.  (Smaldino, 2008, pg. 198)
