[net.general] item on usenet etiquette is coming

jerry (11/19/82)

In a few hours I will be submitting the "final" version of
my discourse on netnews etiquette to net.general with an 
expiration date of Jan 1 1990. 

For anyone who did not see the draft that I posted to net.news
last week, let me explain that this document is intended to
help new (and old) Usenet readers use the net 
in a socially acceptable way.  I am violating one on my own rules, 
by posting a very long article to net.general, but the nature of the item 
requires this treatment.  (I want to do everything possible to get people
to read it.)  I urge everyone to read it.

Thanks to the more than 30 people who sent me comments on the draft.
For your information, the two most common comments concerned my
omission of encrypted jokes from the discussion of net.jokes and
my misuse of "complement".  The current version of the document
is much better than it would ever have been without your help.
