You should be as considerate of others when collaborating online as when meeting face to face:

• Think before you post
• Draft your message first – could someone misinterpret what you've written?
• Keep your messages clear and simple
• Consider the tone of the message
• Don't use UPPER CASE (it indicates shouting)
• Express emotions by using smilies
• Give someone a call to sort things out if online is proving difficult.
• Set the privacy and/or data settings to the preferences you prefer.
