Have you ever read a Request for Comments (RFC)?

Yes?  No?  Dunno?  What the heck is an RFC, you might ask, then read Wikipedia on RFC first.

Anyway, if you never have read an RFC before or you have just browsed through some of them, then RFC1855 is one I recommend to read.  It talks about "Netiquette Guidelines", i.e. how to deal with one-to-one and one-to-many in the electronic age.  Even in case you are a real RFC crack and you can talk about the very details of  RFC1149, it's might be worth to recap these guidelines.
