I've been involved in on-line conferencing/networking for about
ten years. When I first was involved there were frequent reminders
from various sources that it was good networking etiquette to
limit one's submissions to about one screen full. With the explosion
of participation via internet, it seems to me that it is high time
to start reasserting that politeness.
