"Ms. Post has produced a definitive guide that will surely become the
'Geneva Convention' of on-line warfare"
-Boardwatch
"Post's informative prologue dramtically recreates the story of how the
free world struggled to contain the Russian-backed forces of international
hospitality in what was to become the third annual flamming-cold war."
-American History Review
"Book of the month goes to 'N. H. Post's Guide to Flame-War Etiquette." It
is a must read for anyone who uses electronic mail in any form. One again,
MIT shows its leading role in making newly developed technologies
understandable to the general public."
-Jerry Pournelle, Byte
"I simply could not contain myself long enough - half way through the book
I was forced to run across campus to the Fishbowl to try out my newly
aquired knowledge. Soon even this was not enough, so I trashed my spring
break plans and bought an ethernet card instead!"
-I. M. Foobar '96
