[URL] History Research Online -- history research metasite
Towse
an online history research metasite--a terrific source of
information and links to primary sources, meta-link pages,
timelines, maps and general historical URLs.
The creators designed the pages with "graduates, undergraduates,
teaching assistants, and other researchers" in mind but writers
needing historical background or facts will find the site useful
too.
The site opens with a rough category breakdown:
PLACES & PERIODS - includes subcategories from Africa to World
Religions, Beliefs and Folklore, from Australian Region to
Medieval and Renaissance Europe
RESOURCES - includes historiography, maps, primary sources,
statistics and timelines
METHODS & TOPICS - includes Arts, Art History, & Museums,
Biographies & Oral History, Pop Culture , Women and more.
Or you can go straight to the expanded outline.
If you click, for example, on "Ancient and Classical" in the
"PLACE OR PERIOD" category, you'll discover collections of links
dedicated to Meta-sites, Primary Sources, Timelines and "General"
links, further sorted by General, India, China, Egypt, Rome and
Greece.
The "China" subsection includes links to China Ancient Dynasties,
China--History to the Qing Dynasty and Life in Ancient China.

What should I know to avoid getting in trouble with e-mail?
This Knowledge Base document lists a number of behaviors that will almost
certainly get you in trouble.
E-mail is a great convenience, but that convenience can be abused.
Use common sense and good manners when sending e-mail, and it will serve
you well as a useful tool for communication.
Harassment
Sending threatening, unsolicited, obnoxious, or sexually explicit messages
to others by e-mail is a form of harassment, as is continuing to mail
someone who has asked you to stop.
You should never send anyone an e-mail message containing things you
wouldn't say to him or her in person.
Also, remember that what you consider humorous, others may consider
offensive or even frightening.
E-mail harassment violates ethical usage of your computer account, and in
some extreme cases may even provoke victims to press criminal charges.
Mass-mailings and Junk E-mail
Never send uninvited e-mail (spam) to
Chain mail
Chain mail is another form of junk mail
etc etc

>>> What is a flame?
In Internet parlance, a "flame" is a posting to a newsgroup, mailing list
or similar forum that attacks another person or group of people, usually
in response to an earlier posting.
People post "flames" for a variety of reasons. Sometimes discussions of
emotional issues in newsgroups degenerate into angry name-calling.
Sometimes new users posting to a newsgroup are flamed for not being
familiar with the content of the discussion or not showing proper
netiquette (Internet manners).
And sometimes people flame one another because they are aggressive, rude,
or short-tempered.
You should resist the temptation to post flames. Because flames often
involve personal insults, they can destroy the possibility of further
constructive discussion.
Ask yourself the following questions before posting a flame:
Will you later regret posting this?
Are you sure you haven't misinterpreted what the previous poster wrote?
Was the person you are responding to *trying* to get attention or provoke
angry responses from others?
Would you be insulted if someone responded to one of your own postings in
this way?
Is this a personal matter in which other readers will have little or no
interest?
Should you resolve the issue by personal e-mail instead of posting?
Because exchanges of flames usually turn into pointless name-calling, they
waste network resources and frustrate people who are trying to carry on
substantive discussions.
Responses to flames may also take other unpleasant forms, such as
harrassing e-mail or complaints to system administrators.
If you insist on flaming another poster, be as restrained as possible, and
in the case of Usenet, redirect follow-up postings to newsgroups dedicated
to this purpose, such as alt.flame. (However, be forewarned, for the
inhabitants of this group are skilled at insulting one another and may
direct their energies towards flaming you for posts they consider
uncreative.)
Be careful also to check the newsgroups to which your article is being
posted; your opponent may have added irrelevant groups to embarrass unwary
responders.
In particular, make sure your response is not being posted to diagnostic
newsgroups such as misc.test, which are used for network testing purposes
and will fill your mailbox with automated responses.
Please try to deal with flames constructively, and in general avoid
flaming others.
You will help make the Internet a much more enjoyable forum for discussion.

you and i will have to disagree on this, hugh. i may believe that one reaps
what one sows, but that doesn't mean i condone the actions of those who
contribute to the harvest.
as to what i will teach students who use the computers in the center, i will
do what i can, but they are adults with free will.

Axioms or Laws of Motion trans Axiomata sive Leges Motus
From Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica
LAW III
To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction: or the mutual
actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to
contrary parts.
Lex III
Actioni contrariam semper & æqualem esse reactionem: sive corporum duorum
actiones in se mutuo semper esse æquales & in partes contrarias dirigi.

They think they have free will - but much of their actions are driven by
barely understood instincts for much of the time.

Thanks, Pat. I'm loving it so far. It keeps me very busy, though. No more
hours spent newsgroup reading except on weekends. Just a quick skim like now
on breaks.
