2. Participation. Active participation is limited to subscribers. They are informed scholars who are familiar with the texts and phenomena they discuss and who have general knowledge of the relevant scholarly literature.
3. Biographies. All subscribers are required to introduce themselves and their work by contributing a short paragraph listing research interests and level of training. Each short biography submitted is published in the IOUDAIOS-L web site so that other participants of the list may know the level at which to frame responses and so that the editors of IOUDAIOS-Review will be able to find appropriate reviewers for books.
4. Transliteration. Our standard for representing Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek is TLG/CCAT Beta Code as described in the IOUDAIOS-Review Guidelines for Contributors.
5. Archives. Messages sent to IOUDAIOS-L are archived on the World Wide Web, are indexed by Web search engines, and are available to the public for years to come. The archives of recent messages may be found at this web site, and archives of older materials may be found at this FTP site. As you compose a message, remember that it will be archived and available to the public.
6. Articles. IOUDAIOS-L has the facility to publish articles electronically. The articles are archived at this web site. For further information, contact the list coordinators.
7. Commercial Messages. Posting information from authors of new publications is normally welcome. Explicitly commercial announcements or transactions from which you would benefit financially are not welcome. If in doubt, contact a coordinator of the list before posting.
8. Before Posting. Virtually any relevant query is welcome on IOUDAIOS-L as long as the posting indicates thoughtfulness and demonstrates that locally available resources have been exhausted. Do not ask a question that could be answered by simply turning to a standard reference work in your library.
9. Before Responding. Be sure to read all of your IOUDAIOS-L mail before you respond to any part of it. Otherwise, you might respond inappropriately. You may find it useful to examine the messages by thread or by subject at this web site.
10. Humor. Humor is easily misinterpreted in e-mail. Be sure that your humor never denigrates any group or individual. Punchlines should normally be in English (or an English translation should be provided). It is often helpful to include an smiling emoticon to signal when humor is being used; e.g.,
:-) 11. Attachments, Viruses, and Virus Warnings. We strongly discourage the use of attachments. Attachments add considerably to the length of postings and -- even more importantly -- they provide an opportunity for viruses (and similar nasty code like worms and trojan horses) to perpetuate themselves. Do not send attachments, and then we will not have to worry about viruses.
Virus warnings are usually hoaxes, and they perpetuate themselves by making themselves look urgent enough to pass on to others without independent confirmation. Resist the temptation. If you are concerned about a virus warning, check one of the standard locations (listed here) to see whether the message is a hoax or not. Don't let the message's urgent manner fool you into passing it on.
12. Coordinators. Information technology at Lehigh University makes IOUDAIOS-L possible. Coordinators, acting in cooperation with an advisory committee, oversee the list and its operation. The current coordinator is Rochelle Altman. (Jay C. Treat stepped down on 31 December, 2004.) To communicate with the coordinator, send e-mail to:
