    What is Netiquette? Simply stated, it’s network etiquette—that is, the etiquette of cyberspace. And "etiquette" means "the forms required by good breeding or prescribed by authority to be required in social or official life". In other words, Netiquette is a set of rules for behaving properly online.
    (41)______.
    When you communicate electronically, all you see is a computer screen. You don’t have the opportunity to use facial expressions, gestures, and tone of voice to communicate your meaning; words—lonely written words are all you’ve got. And that goes for your correspondent as well. Holding a conversation online—whether it’s an email exchange or a response to a discussion group posting—it’s easy to misinterpret your correspondent’s meaning and it’s frighteningly easy to forget that your correspondent is a person with feelings more or less like your own. Yes, you may use your network connections to express yourself freely, explore strange new worlds, and boldly go where you’ve never gone before. But remember the Prime Directive of Netiquette: Those are real people out there.
    (42)______.
    In real life, most people are fairly law-abiding, either by disposition or because we’re afraid of getting caught. In cyberspace, the chances of getting caught sometimes seem slim. And, perhaps because people sometimes forget that there’s a human being on the other side of the computer, some people think that a lower standard of ethics or personal behavior is acceptable in cyberspace. The confusion may be understandable, but these people are mistaken. Standards of behavior may be different in some areas of cyberspace, but they are not lower than in real life.
    (43)______.
    What’s perfectly acceptable in one area may be dreadfully rude in another. For example, in most TV discussion groups, passing on idle gossip is perfectly permissible. But throwing around unsubstantiated rumors in a journalists’ mailing list will make you very unpopular there. And because Netiquette is different in different places, thus, lurk before you leap. When you enter a domain of cyberspace that’s new to you, take a look around. Spend a while listening to the chat or reading the archives. Get a sense of how the people who are already there act. Then go ahead and participate.
    (44)______.
    Networks—particularly discussion groups—let you reach out to people you’d otherwise never meet. And none of them can see you. You won’t be judged by the color of your skin, eyes, or hair, your weight, your age, or your clothing. You will, however, be judged by the quality of your writing. So spelling and grammar do count. Also, pay attention to the content of your writing. Be sure you know what you’re talking about—when you see yourself writing "it’s my understanding that" or "I believe it’s the case," ask yourself whether you really want to post this note before checking your facts. Finally, be pleasant and polite. Don’t use offensive language, and don’t be confrontational for the sake o~ confrontation.
    (45)______.
    The strength of cyberspace is in its, numbers. The reason asking questions online works is that a lot of knowledgeable people are reading the questions. And if even a few of them offer intelligent answers, the sum total of world knowledge increases. The Internet itself was founded and grew because scientists wanted to share information. Gradually, the rest of us got in on the act. So do your part. Don’t be afraid to share what you know.
    It’s especially polite to share the results of your questions with others. When you anticipate that you’ll get a lot of answers to a question, or when you post a question to a discussion group that you don’t visit often, it’s customary to request replies by email instead of to the group. When you get all those responses, write up a summary and post it to the discussion group. That way, everyone benefits from the experts who took the time to write to you, sharing your knowledge is fun. It’s a long-time net tradition. And it makes the world a better place.
