I have made my share of faux pas with Usenet, but I avoided many by
first observing a bit BEFORE posting. I wish for basically 2 things for
the Googleites.
1. To peruse the NG first to get a feel for how it works and for the
possibility your question's answer may already be posted, (maybe 5000 times)
2. Just assume that the other folks in the NG /cannot/ actually view
your monitor so we do not get posts like:
<post>
My page looks all funny, HELP!
</post>

Take care,
