2.) Keep in mind that newsgroups and mailing lists are frequently archived and that posts will be preserved. 3.) If you are replying to a message be sure to include text of original message which you are replying to. Use ">" indicators if your mail program does not do this for you. 4.) Don't get involved in flame wars (or material which is personal and unproductive). 5.) Keep in mind that Internet is international, words and humor can be perceived differently by different cultures. 6.) Use 4-6 lines for your signature line, this is an opportunity to highlight your business or company information, but don't be ostentatious.. 7.) When responding to a post, keep subject line same, so that it will appear in same thread. 8.) Cross posting to multiple lists is often prohibited. Read posting guidelines. 9.) Expect delays in moderated forums, each posting must be approved. 10.) Anonymous posts are unaccepted in many newsgroups. 11.) Be aware that some people use aliases when posting to Usenet groups to avoid SPAM (unsolicited email). Also keep in mind that anything goes on unmoderated Usenet. 12.) Most lists don't allow for binary attachments.Resources - Library of Emoticons - http://www.instant-messaging-software.com/instant-messaging-emoticons.htm Library of Email Acronyms - http://www.email-software.org/email-acronyms.htm Email Client Software - http://www.messaging-software.net/e-mail-client-software.htm

If you have to take out a credit card loan, try to save as much money before wedding so you minimize how much you need to borrow. And last but not least, shop around to get best price considering quality. This is another reason you need to plan early. You never know what deal may be lurking around corner! Victoria Williams
