The RFC is merely a set of guidelines, and to quote from the RFC itself: "This memo does not specify an Internet standard of any kind." "This document provides a minimum set of guidelines for Network Etiquette (Netiquette) which organizations may take and adapt for their own use." Very good guidelines I agree, but I'd draw short of saying that it is the way things are supposed to be done. ---------------------------------------- Matt Huitson Dept. of Psychology University of Western Australia Nedlands, WA 6097 Western Australia work: 61 89 380 3639 mob: 0414 294 770 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
