3.1: General Courtesy (rec.arts.sf.written.robert-jordan)
Before you post, please read the newsgroup for a while. This is
the best way to see how things are done, and you'll probably find
that whatever question/point you wish to pose has already been
discussed before. You will want to take this into account if and
when you bring it up.
We urge all readers to follow these few points of "netiquette" to
avoid irritating people and to increase the likelihood that people
respond to your ideas. The idea behind these recommendations is
two-fold. First, to make the newsgroup run as smoothly and
pleasantly for all concerned, both old-timer and new user.
Second, to help the new user communicate efficiently, because
communication is the prime goal of Usenet. The idea is NOT to
stifle discussion or add unnecessary restrictions.
It should also be noted that all of these maxims can and should be
applied to every Usenet newsgroup, not only this one.
