I intentionally left out the spelling requirement, as well as the one for sentence structure. Unless my memory fails me, those two requirements weren't as prevalent. Besides, I personally don't think should be.

(In fact, every time I typed in "etiquette," I had to use my browser's built-in spell checker to correct the word. And I was diagnosed with what was known as a "Bright B" IQ as a child. That meant I was considered to be above average in intelligence capabilities at that time. I just got dumber as I got older.)

But I do think it's important because it carries over into real life. You wouldn't want to do business with me if I walked into your store or shop and rudely proclaimed, "Hey, you got any scrap?" Using bulletin board etiquette helps us hone our networking and marketing skills by making us better communicators.
