We're getting closer but #1 should be:  Check the archives BEFORE
posting your question.  99% of all questions have been
asked/answered/discussed 5 times already.

While we're at it, how about adding to the netiquette NOT using
signature lines at the end.  Some folks use about 9 or 10 lines to
quote some obscure, meaningless phrase, or list every URL they ever
visited, over and over again 5 posts/day.  Malcolm
