The Unavoidable Rules of the Internet

Some of the rules on the list are more well known than others, such as Godwin's Law, which originally pertained to Usenet discussions but has been expanded to include all online discussions. Godwin's Law states that "As a... discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1." Others are more obscure, but easily recognized as true. Such as Skitt's Law, which says that "any post correcting an error in another post will contain at least one error itself." Something to think carefully about, Switched commenters.
