If you are subscribed to the home-ed list and your mail bounces for more than a few days, you will be automatically unsubscribed. The authors of the messages submitted to home-ed retain the original copyrights to their contributions. This is a written medium. Others will judge you at least partially by your spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Keep your line length short.
Long lines are difficult to follow.
Include white space between paragraphs. When you reply to a post, trim the included text to the minimum needed to set the context for your reply. Send personal replies privately rather than to the list. If the subject wanders from the original topic, edit the subject line so that it matches the content of your post. Remain civil at all times.
