	Respect is the hallmark of HERO, so respect for others' viewpoints in the e-mail discussion groups is expected. The political, religious, and philosophical diversity of the discussion group keep it interesting--the respect keeps the list enjoyable.
	When you reply to a post, trim the included text to the minimum needed to give context for your reply. Our digest list subscribers thank you!
	Please don't send a message that says nothing but "Me too" or "Thanks" or "I don't know." Send such personal replies privately rather than to the list.
	We welcome relevant replies to any question, however if you wish to carry on an extended personal or controversial conversation, it is best to respond to the individual instead of the whole list.
	Resist the temptation to insult ("flame") others on the list. These discussions are meant for constructive exchanges.
	Please change your subject heading, if necessary, so that it accurately reflects the content of your post.
	All messages are considered to be the property of the author. Please ask the author if you can reproduce, forward or otherwise distribute their postings to anyone other than OKhomeschooling or OKlegislative list subscribers.
	General netiquette is strongly encouraged.

OKhomeschooling discussion topics include activities for homeschoolers around the state and nation, educational resources on the internet, help with individual homeschooling questions, homeschooling philosophy, practical issues and other wide-ranging items of interest.

OKlegislative is a more narrowly focused list. Discussion is limited to urgent issues that specifically affect homeschoolers, such as legislation and media reports on homeschooling. This list is for people who don't want the volume of daily messages on OKhomeschooling, but want to stay informed about urgent matters affecting the Oklahoma homeschooling community.

The children's list, OK-hs-kids, is monitored by one or more HERO parents; list conversations are expected to be polite and "G-rated."
