Subject: Where are the net rules available

15. *****
 Q: Where can I find the net rules (the "netiquette")?

 A: The newsgroup news.announce.newusers has a set of useful
periodic postings of net advice and rules. Sometimes one feels that
reading these periodic postings would not hurt the old hands either.
I heartily suggest taking a look. I have stored some of this
information as ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/doc-net/usenews.zip. It
includes, among other things, the often requested information about
how to go about creating a new newsgroup (as explained in another
item of this FAQ).
   Another newsgroup of interest in this connection is news.answers.

There is none by that exact title (though one contains the word).
There _is_ a _series_ of articles referred to loosely as
"netiquette" (net etiquette, of course); their individual titles are
as follows:
