Be Polite. Never send, or encourage others to send, abusive messages.
Use Appropriate Language. Remember that you are a representative of not only yourself but also your school on a publicly accessible system. You may be alone with your computer, but what you say and do can be viewed globally! Never swear, use vulgarities, or any other inappropriate language. Illegal activities of any kind are strictly forbidden.
Privacy. Remember that revealing your own phone number and address can result in unwanted intrusions of your privacy and should be viewed in the same light as a public listing in a telephone directory. Users shall have no expectation of privacy and understand that the District has the right to monitor and examine all system activities to ensure proper use of the system.
Electronic Mail. Electronic mail (E-Mail) is not guaranteed to be private. Messages relating to or in support of illegal or unethical activities must be reported to the District.
Recommended Practices.
Use accurate and descriptive titles for your articles and subject lines for your e-mail. Tell people what it is about before they read it.
Get the most appropriate audience for your message, not the widest. Avoid posting and bulk mailing of large messages.
Remember that if you post to multiple groups, specify all groups in a single message.
Be brief. Fewer people will bother to read a long message.
Minimize spelling errors and make sure your message is easy to understand and read.
Forgive the spelling and grammatical errors of others.
Remember that humor and satire is very often misinterpreted.
Post only to groups you know.
Cite references for any facts you present.
Keep signatures brief.
Remember that all network users are human beings. Don't "attack" correspondents; persuade them with facts.

*Ten Commandments For Good Manners*
1)Thou Shalt Be Thyself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good Manners begin with a good sense of self. Unless you are true to yourself, you can never be true to others. You are unique. Don't try to shape your personality to meet circumstances. Be natural, and the world will respect you for what you are.
2)Thou Shalt Say "Thank You."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanking others is a way of praising them and is one of the keys to having good manners. Send thank-you notes whenever someone does something nice for you, or telephone to express your gratitude. This simple act will help build lasting relationships. When someone gives you a compliment, the best response is a simple "thank you." And don't forget "Please," "Excuse me," and "You're welcome," which are other marks of good manners.
3)Thou Shalt Give Compliments.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A fundamental rule of good manners is to give. Think about what you can give to others, and remember that the most precious gifts cost nothing. When you meet someone, you can always think of a genuine compliment to give. A "Hello" or "How are you?" is not enough. You can also give your undivided attention and interest to others. You can be generous with words of praise, warm greetings, sympathy, love, or other good news.
4)Thou Shalt Not be Boastful, Arrogant or Loud.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Always exercise restraint and good taste. Your voice, your behavior and even your clothing should reflect understated elegance. Only a small person brags about accomplishments; a well-mannered person has no need for self-advertisement. Let your deeds speak for themselves.
5)Thou Shalt Listen Before Speaking.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Respect for others is a prerequisite of good manners. Listening to others is a way to show respect. There is no worse company than a person that does not listen. Be genuinely interested in others; learn their names, and encourage them to talk about themselves. Never interrupt. Look them in the eye, and listen carefully. The listener learns and thereby gains.
6)Thou Shalt Speak with Kindness and Caution.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before speaking to others, consider what effect your words will have. Pause and weigh your words carefully and say them with a quality of softness. A slip of the tongue can inflict needless hurt. Also, remember the language of the body (your posture and your mannerisms) is as important as the language of words.
7)Thou Shalt Not Criticize or Complain.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A person with good manners is above criticizing others or complaining about circumstances. Negativity is any form is to be avoided. If you hear gossip, don't join in, be indifferent to it. If you disagree with others, do so respectfully. Don't verbally attack or condemn them. You may win the argument, but lose a valued friend.
8)Thou Shalt Be Punctual.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Appreciate the value of time, yours and others. If you make an appointment, arrive on time. If you must be late, call first.
Never arrive early for a social engagement; your host may still be getting dressed!
Don't overstay your welcome. Lingering good-byes merely cause frustration and can ruin an otherwise good time. A quick, simple exit at the proper time is usually appreciated.
9)Thou Shalt Not Embarrass Others.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Treat others as you would like to be treated, and think of how you can put them at ease. The feelings of other people can be as fragile as fine crystal. Never demean anyone with rude jokes or an unwelcome nickname. Be considerate. In conversation, never ask embarrassing questions such as how much was paid for a new item or about matters of th heart. It's always good manners to think of others first.
10)Thou Shalt Act and Look Your Best.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A gracious friend is never ruffled. Be a calming, happy influence in any stressful situation and maintain your composure. See humor whenever possible. Master self-control and have empathy for others. Always act your best with courtesy and politeness.
Each day dress as if it were your only chance to shine. A smile should top your list of accessories. Your home, car and workplace should reflect your best. They should be tidy, neat and well organized.
Table manners are important. Observe rules of proper conduct, such as not speaking with food in your mouth and not eating until the host has been seated. Eat slowly, enjoying each bite. Savor the moments when good friends, good conversation and good manners bring about the best life has to offer.

Brian Williams certainly has an affinity for FDR. Four months after suggesting the nation could "use a little FDR right about now," though Rooselvelt's policies failed to end the Depression, on Thursday night he connected the obscure 76th anniversary of Roosevelt's first "fireside chat" in 1933 to President Barack Obama's efforts to fix the economy: "76 years ago today, President Franklin Roosevelt summoned radio news microphones to a desk next to a fireplace in the Oval Room of the White House, and the fireside chat was born. He wanted to talk to the nation about the economy and the banks. And here we are 76 years later, in the midst of another deep and wide economic crisis. For President Obama, it remains job one in this different era." 
Working on the day after Thanksgiving, Brian Williams used Friday's NBC Nightly News to promote a new book from FDR's grandson, providing Williams with an opportunity to propose: "In your estimation, could we use a little FDR right about now?" Though Franklin Delano Roosevelt's policies failed to end the Depression, Williams hailed him as "the man who led this nation out of financial disaster." Conceding "we can no longer talk to him," as if we'd benefit from doing so, Williams trumpeted how "tonight we think we have about the next best thing" in FDR's grandson, Curtis, who "lives in the south of France after a career with the UN." 
SAVANNAH GUTHRIE: Hey, Brian. Well, the President spoke to CEOs at a business roundtable today. He's looking to engage the business community, who let's face it is a little bit skeptical of some of his proposals, particularly on tax increases, his plans to cap carbon emissions. And so he really sought to engage them, doing a q and a, and telling them, "Look, this is an extraordinary crisis that we're going through, it requires serious government intervention." But he wanted to tell them, "I'm a serious free enterpriser and we'll return the markets to free enterprise once this is over." And there was a really interesting moment today where the Chairman of CitiGroup, which has gotten three government bailouts by the way, asked the President, "hey, you're confidence builder in chief, can you give us some confidence?" Well the President did that and then tried to put all of this in perspective. 
We need a little guideness at times, and encouragement. That why on the homepage, I have a link to free Bible Courses. In these troubling times we need to know that there is a God who cares about us enough to send his Son to die for our sins.
