  Lecture  
 

This week, we turn our attention to netiquette. I haven't prepared a lecture on this topic in general. Instead, please read The Core Rules of Netiquette, and peruse the rest of Netiquette, by Virginia Shea. Next, we will concentrate on two specific areas of netiquette, spam and chain letters. >>
