The internet is a place for everyone on earth to communicate with each other. As time has passed and the internet has become the primary form of human interaction, a common net etiquette has evolved and been set in place that now acts as an unwritten rule of sorts.
One example of netiquette is the use of capital letters. TYPING LIKE THIS implies your are shouting and typically should not be done online. Since there are no real indicators of a verbal tone when typing, one should use respectful language and read over what they have typed to make sure you wrote what you actually meant to say. Another example is the proper use of intellectual property. Unless a piece of work has been placed in a public domain or you have been granted use by the owner, you should not be using their work.
Also when offering others information, check your facts and make sure your not putting false information in to the web. In that same manner, one should always look online for any questions they may have before bothering others with it. There are very few questions that others may not have tried to ask first.
Below i will add a great link to more netiquette information for those of you who are interested in seeking further information, and as a fellow web user you should, after all "everyone could use a little netiquette!"
