I'm still very much a newbie. I can understand most of the tech talk,
but some of the Americanisms puzzle me. But, it's the chance of being
discourteous that worries me most. I've tried to find a book of net
etiquette but without success. Can anyone please recommend some source
of this information? TIA


There probably no book that can help with that. Each board has its own
personality. Lurk where your interested and post on-topic when you have
a question or comment. Better not to top post, I still don't get why,
but that's how usenet prefers it.
