What's said and done in Cyberspace is not private. You don't enjoy
the privacy protections that are available to you when
you use the telephone or send a letter through the mail
('snail mail'). If you wouldn't want whatever you've said
published in the newspaper, then don't say it.
Email addresses are set up in this way:
your_login_name@mail_machine_name.domain.institution_type
For example, sac00000@saclink.csus.edu. This means
the user login is sac00000, the machine used to hold
the e-mail is named 'SacLink', the machine is in the
'csus' domain which is an 'edu' - educational
institution.

What is a URL
Address:
Discussion of URL's: A URL (Uniform Resource
Locator) is to the web what your house address is to you -
it's the location of a web site in cyberspace. URL's are
organized into parts, each of which designates a specific
piece of the address code.
Let's look at the web address for the CSUS news page:
http://www.csus.edu/news/index.html
http:// says "this is an address on
the World Wide Web"
www says "this web page lives on the
CSUS main Web Server
. is a separator -- just like the commas
in your city, state designation
csus says "this web page lives in a
domain named csus"
edu says "this web page lives at an
educational institution"
news says "the directory or folder where
the information resides is in called news"
index.html says "the name of the first
document in this set of html (Hypertext Markup Language -
i.e. Web) documents is named index"
Actually, we ususally don't have to include the name of
the document since most web servers use a name like
'default.html' or index.html' as their default starting
document name.
