The webs sites I posted earlier this week usually have
extensive references to tutorials on the web and HTML:

http://www.rpi.edu/~perezc2/tc/
http://www.well.com/user/asi/
http://www.io.org/~ksoltys/techcomm.html
http://www.europa.com/~ace/resource.html
http://www.galstar.com/~ejray/techwrite/

In light of the ruckus this week on the list, look at
these URLs, too:

http://www.clari.net/brad/emily.html
http://www.fau.edu/rinaldi/netiquette.html
http://www.fau.edu/rinaldi/net.dis.html

The sites talk about netiquette.  The first is a tongue-in-cheek
Dear Emily Postnews.  The second is a good site I wish I'd
known about a year ago.  The last is one of the pages in
the www.fau.edu site that makes specific recommendations
to new subscribers to discussion lists.

Used to, don't now.  I don't have time to do a longer post.
