Internet Guidelines

Be clear

Use appropriate language

don't send the message, save it, and review it "later"
Remember:  no one can guess your mood, see your facial expressions, etc.
All they have are your words, and your words can express the opposite of what you feel
Don't use ALL CAPITAL LETTERS--it's equal to shouting or screaming.

Be brief
If your message is short, people will be more likely to read it.
