My "Free Launch" site is a routinely updated selection of what I consider
"bookmark quality" links, chosen for richness in content, ease of
navigation, and enduring informational value. I have made it a policy to
notify sites I have chosen to link to, and have found folks to be very
pleased (and in some cases surprised!) that I bothered to notify them.

I have also been approached to consider sites to be added, some of which
were sensational in nature or blatantly promotional of the owner's product
or service. Those I have politely refused, since I considered them
"inappropriate" for the intent of the page.

So from that standpoint, I think "Netiquette" is beginning to appear on the Web.

I have been publishing an online newletter for a Delphi SIG called
Callahan's Saloon, and one of the monthly features is called "Tips on
Netiquette". Although it focuses more on live conferencing etiquette, it
may be useful to your research. The newsletter is called "Callahan's Bar
Rag", and the url is:
