Information About

Netiquette





HISTORY

Netiquette originated in the pre- World Wide Web days when text-based email, Telnet , Usenet , Gopher , Wais , and Ftp dominated internet traffic, which was primarily used by educational and research bodies. At that time it was considered somewhat indecent to make commercial public postings and the limitations of insecure, text-only communications demanded the community have a common set of rules. The term "netiquette" has been in use since as early as 1988, as evidenced by early posts of the satirical Dear Emily Postnews column.
