What are some online Netiquette rules I should follow?

Message Board Postings

Remember that whenever anything is written online, the reader only has words to work with; no facial expressions, no tone of voice, and no body language. It's easy for miscommunication to occur, so if you're unsure of someone's meaning, ask for clarification. For instance, if someone responds to a message board post by posting "I'm sure," are they agreeing with the post or just sarcastic?
