Rule 4: Respect other people's time and bandwidth

This one in particular takes a certain amount of education. Most of USns are unaware that many others on this board are paying strictly by connect time and don't want to be running around looking at just anything that gets posted. Specifically, this relates to the feature in which a person gets email notification of posts that have been responded to. This is the point that was brought up elsewhere with the phrase, read flat, post threaded. If you are responding to a specific post in a thread, click on the Respond icon to that post and not just the one at the end of the thread.
