2. Observe common courtesy, scholarly collegiality, and list netiquette at all times, even in the heat of argument. Stick to the issues and to arguments that contribute to the discussion. All comments that reflect negatively on other groups or individuals (including references to another's competence) are forbidden.

3. Begin the subject headers of messages to the list with the letters "IOU" (e.g., "IOU Joseph in Philo" or "ioudaios: Position Available"), and change the subject headers diligently as the subject changes.

4. Messages should be considered and concise. Including quotations, each message should not exceed 100 lines. In rare circumstances, carefully written prose may extend to 150 lines. Do not post essays or messages with enclosures. Instead, post short notices offering to send longer materials to parties who request them. Or, arrange to submit an article.

5. Do not post more than twelve messages in a single week unless very special circumstances warrant your overparticipation. Your restraint gives others a chance to be heard.

6. Be careful with quotations. When you respond to a posting, quote only enough to make your point; do not repost the whole message. Do not repost another's private mail without the explicit permission of the writer. Do not post copyrighted materials beyond fair use without permission of the copyright owners. If you use material from IOUDAIOS-L elsewhere, give credit to the author and cite the URL of the appropriate digest in the archives.

7. Show consideration for your readers by observing ordinary conventions of spelling, capitalization, sentence construction, paragraphing, and transliteration.

8. End every posting to the list with your full name, institutional affiliation, and e-mail address. Pseudonyms are not acceptable. If you wish to be addressed by another name, indicate this in the signature.
