This is a list on security, not on why "netiquette is a good thing".
There are however, sound economic and technical reasons why
"netiquette is a good thing" and those who systematically or
seriously abuse it should be denied internet access.
There's a good page on netiquette:

See also FYI 28, RFC 1855 and the newsgroup news.admin.net-abuse.misc
for further discussion on spam and junk mail.
