The AUP won't have much effect, but the after-effects will. Once the AUP 
is announced we will get press coverage about it, any new Internet books 
and articles will point out the rules of conduct on the Internet and 
mention that breaking the rules could get you kicked out. All this will 
make people aware that there ARE rules and that spam is not liked. 
Publicity, publicity and more publicity.

        I've seen near zero coverage of RFC 1746, which covers
        AUP's on the Internet.

Besides, I believe ISOC has been working on a code of conduct for almost 
a year. I recall reading about it last fall somewhere at http://www.isoc.org

        Does it cover the issues listed in RFC 1746?  Is anyone at
        ISOC paying any attention?
