Should I list my skill set in resume?

Currently I have my skill set listed in the resume, but I find it takes up too much space.

For example:

Internet/E-mail: Exchange 2003, Firefox, Internet Explorer, MSN Premium, Netscape

Browser/Messenger, Outlook 2000/2002/2003/Express, Safari, SSH Secure Shell Client, Windows Mail

Network: ADSL, Dial up, DHCP, DNS, Enternet, LANs, PPPoE, (Printer) Routers, RAS, TCP/IP, Telnet, WINS, Wireless routers

Should I list my skill set?

If yes, what is the most effective way to list them?

Skills have no place in a resume. Space should be dedicated for your grandmothers county-winning apple pie recipe and a short haiku describing the perils of global warming.

{Skills}
Sarcasm: Advanced working knowledge :P

Other than that I'd say yes keep them but move them further down if you thing they are eclipsing more important traits on your first page. That first one has to grab their attention straight away. You could always list core skills as a succinct summary then elaborate later.

Should list single word skills like, "C,C++, Java, HTML"?

Or would a more detailed explanation is required?

I think you should list your skill set. Something that's why recruiter pick up those keyword and same to the machine scanning.
