*  The EchoList is an informal, international listing of EchoMail             *
*  Conferences as described and submitted by each conference's moderator.     *
*                                                                             *
*  The EchoList is published on or about the first of each month.  It is      *
*  available for File Request as "magic" file name: ECHOLIST, from FidoNet    *
*  node 1:1/201.  This provides a file named ELISTnnn.LZH, which contains (at *
*  least) ELISTnnn.TXT (the file you are reading). There is also a collection *
*  of submitted conference rules files requestable as ECHORULE (ELRULnnn.LZH).*
*                                                                             *
*  Likewise, moderator instructions for updates are available as "ECHOMOD".   *
*  Moderators, please refer to ELMOD993.LZH for instructions on submitting    *
*  updates and additions.                                                     *
*                                                                             *
*  The EchoList database can be queried at any time.  The instructions for    *
*  submitting Echo Query messages are in ELQRY993.LZH.                        *
*                                                                             *
*  Consult your Regional EchoMail Coordinator for local availability of       *
*  these files.                                                               *

*  Edition 310 Notes                                                          *
*  =================                                                          *
*  Every once in a while it seems I have to remind people that I don't        *
*  invent these entries, and I don't have any way to validate them.           *
*  What you see is what the submitters put here.  Any question of             *
*  validity should be addressed with the listed moderator or submitter.       *
*                                                                             *
*  I still have more on my to-do list.  But if you have suggestions for       *
*  the EchoList update process or reports, feel free to send a note.          *
*                                                                             *

          an alternative, left perspective.  Many of these news items are
          overlooked in the "normal" mass-media and contain news from a
          different point of view. Features both national international
          news stories with an emphasis on social, labor, environmental and
          other issues.  Not meant to be a so-called objective news echo,
          but intead focuses on alternative news.  No restrictions but
          Sysops could make the echo read-only if they prefer.  This echo
          is not meant for conversation, instead trying to be purely news
          and information. ANEWS is distributed on the Zone 1 echomail
          backbone.

     Animal Rights Conference
          A conference designed to discuss the pros and cons of various
          animal rights issues. Every aspect of animal rights is open to
          discussion, providing personal attacks and flames are avoided.
          This conference covers a topic which is very emotional in nature
          at times, but those participating are encouraged to avoid being
          entrapped by the emotions of the issue and to allow those with
          opposing viewpoints to state them. The hope is that through
          reasonable and rational discussion, the plight of animals in
          modern society may be positively advanced.  There is a rule file
          called "ANIM_RTS.RUL" which is posted weekly and should be
          available in the Echolist Rules File.  WARNING: This echo allows
          those who are against the concept of animal rights to voice their
          opinions, and they are not shy about doing so.  If you are an
          animal rights sympathizer and have never had your opinions
          challenged, you may be disturbed by some of the discussions.

          AT&T PC products such as the 7300).  These machines also share
          hardware configuration with the Xerox 6060 series and Olivetti
          M24 series PC's, and are included as on topic subjects.
          Specifically included as on-topic are AT&T _SPECIFIC_ parts for
          sale, such as ROMBIOS, supported HD's, graphics cards, bus
          converters, etc. As NCR has been acquired by AT&T and is
          marketing computer products as an AT&T subsidiary, those machines
          will be considered on-topic as well. Also considered as part of
          AT&T's technology base is video compression, Voicemail (as
          represented by plug-in cards for the 6386WGS) and related issues.

          church is not only desirable but absolutely mandated by the U.S.
          Constitution and works toward that end with education and source

          the opinion that organized religion must be thwarted in their
          attempt to undermine the government of these United States of
          America by continuously striving to inject its dogma and doctrine
          into the U.S. and State and Local governments. Copies of past

          Regional forum for discussion of issues and choices related to a

          one's fig leaf, what is naturism? What are some of the problems
          and advantages of a naturist lifestyle? What are some of your
          favorite nude beaches, resorts, clubs? BAYNUDE is *not* intended
          for sexual discussions.

          "nice talk" conferences: you will be challanged and you will
          probably be angered.  Consider the conference as an electronic
          catharsis, and far cheaper than professional psychotherapy.  :)

     Visual Disabilities Echo
          BlinkTalk is the original Fidonet echo for subjects of interest
          to blind and visually impaired individuals.  It is associated
          with no formal blindness organization and thus expounds no
          particular philosophy towards blindness, or much of anything for
          that matter! Topics include speech synthesis and other adaptive
          computer screen reading devices, braille and its availability,
          mobility techniques such as guide dog and white cane use, daily

     Cable Television Echo
          This new echo is designed to present pro-consumer information
          about the cable television industry.  The conference will delve
          deeply into cable legislation issues, new network offerings, new
          technology, and will be the springboard for lobbying Washington
          for consumer protections for cable tv subscribers.  The echo is
          not simply a mechanism to bash the cable tv industry, but rather
          to prod it into participating in a fully competitive multichannel
          service provider business environment.  Expect a lot of crossover
          information about cable's competitors, including telco-tv, C-band
          satellite, direct broadcast satellite, wireless cable, and other
          new technologies.  This is a new echo and will be placed on the
          backbone as soon as possible. Please contact Frank Kennedy at
          1:124/4115.225 to be added to the mailing list for updates.

     The Complaint Department
          This is an echo for moaning and groaning and general all-purpose
          complaining.  Tell everyone how awful your boss is, how your
          Mother-In-Law is driving you crazy, what your spouse said to
          infuriate you, how your parents never appreciate what a great kid
          they have or how your teachers are out to get you. This is NOT an
          echo for solving problems or political discussions. The rules are
          simple. 1.  You MAY NOT use your real name.  Only aliases
          allowed.  This is for your protection! 2.  Absolutely no bad
          language.  No profanity or obscenity. 3.  Please limit replies to
          other posters complaints to sympathizing with their miseries.
          Suggestions: "You poor dear.  How do you stand it?  All
          (wives,husbands,parents, teachers) are no good."

          getting paid, networking with other consultants, setting fees,
          starting a new practice and ethical issues pertaining to
          consulting.  Technical questions may be more properly directed to
          echos where they will be considered "on-topic".

          A general forum for participants to debate and discuss a wide
          range of political, historical, contemporary and philosophical
          topics.  Forceful discussion or debate is encouraged.  However,
          it should be clearly understood that personal attacks (flames),
          remarks deliberately intended to provoke other users ("baiting
          or "goading"), and foul or abusive language will NOT be
          tolerated. And while general religious topics are allowed,
          "sermonizing" does not belong here.

     Diets and dieting.
          Anything having to do with dieting, including the discussion of
          exercise, is welcome in this EchoNet conference.  Let us share
          with one another our strengths and weaknesses, our gains and
          losses; what has worked and what has failed. Recipes, however,
          are not permitted. Friendly and encouraging conversations make
          this conference a popular choice.

     Dungeons & Dragons Discussion Base
          The purpose the International Dungeons & Dragons (DND) echo is to
          provide an active forum for the discussion of "Dungeons &
          Dragons" type mediaeval game systems. The DND echo is provided
          for mediaeval fantasy role players to come together to exchange
          ideas and experience, and to discuss new ideas as they relate to
          the topic of the echo, and to further the course of their
          experience and expertise as Players and GMs alike. This forum has
          been designated as a "Discussion" echo only, and is a companion
          to the "AD&D" echo, which is a "RPG Gaming" echo. The running of
          role play games in the DND echo is strictly prohibited.

          The conference in which all desktop publishing products, DOS and
          Windows versions, are discussed -- Xerox Ventura Publisher, Aldus
          PageMaker, Power Up! Express Publisher, PFS:First Publisher and
          more.  Everyone is welcome: Novice, Intermediate, Advanced,
          Expert.  And those merely curious.  In today's business and
          private sectors, it is nearly impossible not to find a real need
          for the advantages offered by low-end and high-end DTP
          capabilities:  community or business newsletters; merchant
          low-cost, high-quality advertising brochures; annual reports with
          spectacular graphics.  You name it! The DTP Echo thrives on
          sharing ideas and experiences gleaned from participants at all
          levels of this exciting endeavor.  And those who have never given
          desktop publishing more than a (frightful) passing thought find
          helpful, insightful suggestions and guidance.

     EchoList Access Conference
          The International EchoList is an open repository of information
          about electronic mail conferences, as defined and submitted by
          the moderators of those conferences. The ECHOLIST conference
          provides access to The International EchoList and it's publisher.
          It is primarily meant as a convenient method for people to see
          announcements of new and updated EchoList entries as they are
          posted rather than waiting for the monthly publication and
          distribution of the report files. The ECHOLIST conference
          supports submitting ECHO QUERY messages, which produce as a reply
          a report of the contents of the EchoList database. This
          conference also provides access to the author and publisher for
          questions and discussion of the database and the update process.
          The ECHOLIST conference is NOT for discussion of the flow or
          administration of EchoMail (refer to the ZEC conference for your
          Zone), it is NOT for discussion of the internal operation of
          EchoMail conferencing (refer to the MODERATOR conference), and it
          is NOT for the discussion of finding and establishing EchoMail
          links (refer to the ECHO_REQ conference). It is strictly a
          conferenced method for access to the EchoList.

     Episcopal Echo
          The Episcopal Echo is an area for all Episcopalians and other
          members of the Anglican Communion to get together and discuss
          everything from renegade bishops to swinging incense.  However,
          the echo is open to all people, regardless of their religion,
          etc.  For those for whom reason and traditions often count as
          much as faith alone:  "There's a difference between being
          baptised and brainwashed".  A post- sophomoric Canterbury Club
          for all ages.  Mostly for a mainstream and traditional core of
          theology & demographics as spawned the US Declaration of
          Independence, and other such revolutionary things.. 2000 year old
          trinities like humor, burlesque, and parody are quite welcome:
          derision is not!  Has no teaching or conversion agenda: just good
          humor, good will, and maybe some random good works by serendipity
          and simply being considerate of others.

     Evolutionary Mechanism Theory Discussion
          Discussion of evolutionary theory topics, field biology, relevant
          observations in ecology, geology, astronomy, genetics, and
          population biology.  Especially geared toward providing a
          communications channel for scientists organizing against the
          anti-science SciCre forces: future topics to include prototype
          SciCre "argument"/scientific response pairs. While SciCre-ists
          are encouraged to use this channel for distribution of their
          propaganda (as opposed to being off-topic or unwelcome in
          SCIENCE, PHYSICS, and other echoes), it should be noted that
          SciCre-ists will receive exactly the level of respect that they
          give here.  Like the Usenet talk.origins newsgroup, discussion is
          "sometimes hot". The distribution is public for this echo.  The
          echo is on the FidoNet Zone 1 backbone, and apparently has been
          gated to Zone 3 as well.

     EX-WRITER
          Did you once participate in the Writers conference and have to
          leave, either by your own free will or with assistance from
          Guido?  Did an agoraphobic groupie, snot-nosed graduate student,
          or drunken horse's ass make you one of a growing number of
          disenfranchised writers with no place to rest your electronic
          quill while not working on that next story, book, poem, article,
          user's guide, or brochure?  If so, you are eligible for
          membership in one of Fidonet's most exclusive echos: EX-WRITER!
          If you don't mess your pants when someone brings up a good
          definition of poetry, you'll fit right in.  Contact Ramon
          Fernandez for full information on the feed nearest you in

     Fidonet Cares
          The Great Midwest Floods of 1993 have caused untold damage and
          heartache to many of the members of our Fidonet family in Regions
          11 and 14.  This conference is used to elicit information about
          the needs of Fidonet members and their families that have
          suffered as a result of this disaster, and to help meet whatever
          emergency needs they may have by tapping the resources of other
          Fidonet members outside of the disaster area.

          we'll be sharing information and advice between moderators and
          others. No profanity, lewdness, etc will be tolerated. The
          conference will be "for" backbone moderators but open to anyone

          Participation in the Filebone and other file distribution systems
          is becoming more and more widespread. This echo is intended to
          make participation easier by offering support and information for
          the setup and use of file echoing programs. Discussion of Tick,
          Raid, Allfix, Filemgr, and other related utilities is on topic.
          In addition to providing support to users of varying experience
          with such programs, this echo will also hopefully be a center of
          information about new file echoing programs and related software.

          debate about almost anything you care to Flame about!  The echo
          can get quite nasty and "hot," but there is a general attempt by
          all participants to argue/debate/bitch in an intelligent and
          lively way, though regression into ad hominem assaults ("personal
          attacks") and/or resorting to the exchange of insults is allowed,
          and quite likely: it is the *FLAME!* echo after all.  The echo is
          a place to blow off steam, or just plain get nasty if you find
          you can't get nasty anywhere else.

          have an interest in gender issues. This includes behavioral
          specialists and counselors. The Purpose of the echo is to be
          supportive and informative. Any group or BBS that wishes to
          advertise events or conferences that may be of interest to all
          may do so. They may post the phone numbers for the principle
          contacts for these functions, or for BBS's that carry special
          files or echos.

          Echo that folks are usually asked to move to after they have
          raised the noise level of the A_THEIST Echo or some other Echo
          trying to stay on topic. HOLYSMOKE welcomes all debate on the
          pros and cons of religious indoctrination. Arguing over whose
          religion is best or worst and why, is welcome here so long as it
          doesn't become an endless loop and the antagonists are cordial.

          HOLY_BIBLE and "Wholly_Bible" are (C)1991-1993 Steve Winter with
          all rights reserved worldwide. Exploring the Christian Holy Bible
          (serious Bible study only). With so many "religions" and "three
          god cults" blatantly teaching opposing doctrines while "claiming"
          to be representing "The Bible", many are wisely deciding to look
          for themselves. No profanity, lewdness, etc will be tolerated.
          Deliberate off-topic messages and rule violations will not be
          tolerated. This is an internationally distributed Bible echo.
          Doctrines will face "the Bible test" in an open forum. This
          should not be confused with the pseudo christian, three god cult
          echos or any other cults or "denominations" of the RCC. This echo
          is extremely strict because of the cost of international
          distribution.  All points MUST be documented by scripture! This
          is NOT a "chat" or "fellowship" conference!. This really is the
          only true Christian Echo on the Fidonet Backbone. If you are
          interested in what the Bible really teaches, check out HOLY_BIBLE
          (the Wholly Bible echo) for yourself and see what the false
          christians are hissing and roaring about. Beware of sleazy
          imitations and thieves that stole their echoname from this echo's
          description. This echo is gated from the PRIME Network. We have a
          trinity of three seperate co-equal, co-eternal persons as

          different reasons.  It is a political movement rather than

          announcements, reviews, critiques and general chatter and
          discussion. Something for all horror fans! While posting of
          original creative works is not the *primary* purpose of this
          echo, that's certainly allowed, too.

     International Humanities Echo
          A general conference to foster the interdisciplinary discussions
          between the various humanities.  While the Fido world is awash
          with the technical echos, there are very few echoes which serve
          those who might have, accidentally or intentionally, taken a
          *serious* interest in the humanities.  Those echoes which do
          exist, HISTORY, HISTORIA, PHILosophy, etc. are isolated from one
          another, barring the sort of cross-curricular discussion which is
          for the old liberal arts.  The HUMANITIES echo seeks to address
          this isolation and provide a forum for enlightened discussion.
          All participants are welcome, though pseudonyms are not permitted
          in this echo.

     Impeach RC18!
          We're tired of the constant edicts and inconsistencies endlessly
          spewed by the current Region 18 Coordinator! We're tired of his
          own personal agenda overriding any logical policy decision that
          needs to be made.  We're just plain tired of RC18.  It's time for
          him to go.  This conference is designed as an open forum for
          ideas pertaining to the removal of RC18. Leave your conspiracies
          and grudges at the door - this is a business echo, and we're
          serious about the task at hand.

     Employment and Job Conference
          The JOBS echo is for discussion of employment related issues.
          This can include practically anything that is job related.
          Almost anything that is about your current job or getting a job
          is acceptable.  It is also appropriate to post a resume or job
          offerings.  Discussion that is not job related, or job related
          discussions that get off topic (such as religion, politics,
          personal life styles, drugs, human rights, etc.) are not
          appropriate in this echo. It is recommended that nodes receiving
          this echo also get the sister echo JOBS-NOW, which lists job
          offerings only. Moderator permission required before gating to

          JOBS-NOW if for the posting of job offerings by individuals or

          company with a job opening, or by a professional recruiting
          company which has been hired to fill the opening. Professional
          recruiters, however, should be sensitive to the feelings of net

          a discussion group or a group for posting resumes.  It is
          acceptable to repost offerings from other areas or to post
          offerings "second hand" if they are credited, verifiable and
          bonafide.  MLM type offerings (regardless of legality, "Pyramid"
          schemes, and any "job" that requires an up-front investment are
          not allowed. JOBS-NOW has strict and detailed conference rules,
          which should be read before posting any messages.  NO MESSAGES
          OTHER THAN JOB OFFERINGS ARE ALLOWED IN THE JOBS-NOW ECHO. PLEASE
          READ CONFERENCE RULES BEFORE POSTING ANY MESSAGES. Moderator

     K12net Sysops Conference
          **restricted to K12net sysops only**. Not available singly.
          <<GENERAL INFO>> K12net is privately distributed to HUNDREDS of
          school-based/oriented BBS's within FIDOnet zones 1, 2, and 3 as
          well as in USEnet and other networks. There are NO fees! It is
          specifically oriented to curricular/classroom use for introducing
          Kindergarten thru 12th grade students, teachers and
          administrators to the "global village" of telecommuni- cations.
          K12net is a public "network with training wheels" and should not
          be thought of as a "hobby" network--this is "school". To prevent
          fragmentation of this community, K12net echoes are NOT available
          singly--sysops must take all or none. Traffic in 3/92 generally
          ran 200-250 messages per day for the entire network.  K12net
          (sm)(tm) is the mark of Jack Crawford. For more information file
          request K12_INFO.ZIP from any of these members of the K12net

     Kate Bush Appreciation
          Kate Bush is a musician/singer who is quite popular in Europe,
          but has really never had much of a folowing in the United States.
          She does have devoted fans, though, and many of us meet through
          the KATEBUSH echo.  Conversation is not completely limited to
          KaTe, though; we tolerate discussion of artists who do or could
          influence her work. Also, digests from usenet's Kate Bush
          conference, rec.music.gaffa, are posted.  The moderator will PAY
          for distribution within Zone 1, and can arrange for gateways into
          Zones 2 (UK or Sweden), 3 (Oz) and 6 (Hong Kong).

     International Kids Conference
          The KIDS Echo Conference was established to  allow young  people
          up  to  the  age  of  18  to  have freedom of information
          interchange in an environment that  is  directed primarily toward
          an adult audience. Allowing our children to have an area of thier
          own is necessary to give  our kids the opportunity to  expand
          their  capabilities  in the  age  of electronics  and  home
          computing. Our children are our most valued resources in the
          persuit of a  future  for  a  nation with  strong goals in
          computers. Our future belongs to them. They are our destiny. The
          KIDS Echo Conference was  designed with  them  in  mind.
          Therefore, each adult should encourage its  use  and   give   it
          direction.   Direction   without interferance except to insure
          that the echo is wholesome and that it grows with common decency
          as viewed by the public as a whole. Schools  systems  are
          encouraged to participate in the KIDS echo. Our goal is to link
          the schools  all over the world in an environment which will
          benefit  our  educators as well as our students.  School projects
          should be  encouraged by our teachers and the echo used as a
          basis for these projects. Additionally, the KidsNews newsletter
          can be a viable medium for students, teachers, parents and
          school organizations to express  ideas  and  activities.
          KidsNews  is the official newsletter of the KIDS echo conference.
          It is there for YOUR use.

          Anyone who had been aborted wouldn't be here. If inconvenient
          babies weren't really alive, there would be no need to kill them.

     Law & Technology
          LAW_TECH is *the* echomail conference for the discussion of the
          technology of law, and the law of technology; any subject matter
          that fits this bill is fit for the Law_Tech conference. Any and
          all technology that affects the practice of law or our legal
          system is up for discussion, as are the legal implications and
          consequences of developing technology.  Only discussions that go
          really far afield of these goals will be set straight by the
          moderator. The Law & Technology echo is a professionally-
          oriented discussion conference, and participants are expected to
          conduct themselves with this in mind. Suggestions for the
          continued development and improvement of LAW_TECH are always
          welcome, and may be submitted to the moderator via the
          conference.

     Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Discussion Echo
          Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) represent the "bottom-up"
          school of Artificial Intelligence modelling.  ANNs are models of
          cognitive computation based upon and inspired by biological
          nervous systems, using many low level processors with massive
          interconnection in order to accomplish significant function in
          adaptive signal processing, pattern recognition, expert systems,
          process control, DNA sequence recognition, and many other
          applications.  Cognitive and behavioral scientists are able to
          model many phenomena through even the simple ANN models available
          now.  This Echo serves to support those interested in this
          multi-disciplinary field to locate resources, discuss problems,
          and exchange code related to ANNs.  Significant news items from
          the Usenet comp.ai.neural-nets newsgroup, Neuron Digest listings,
          calls for papers, meeting announcements, and other news from the
          outside world get posted in NEURAL_NET.  Discussion of the
          implications of ANN technology coexists with discussions of
          applications.  If thinking about the "how" of thinking appeals to
          you, this Echo should be on your "must read" (and write) list.
          The distribution is public and international for this echo.

          concensus is this still defines the scope of our discussion. The
          New Age actually refers to a transition, a blending of ancient
          values and new breakthroughs, into a new era of hope. All we ask
          is that you join with an open mind and contribute with compassion
          and tolerance.  Diversity is welcomed here, not condemned.  Enjoy
          the journey!  (Began July, 1987)

          alternative networks other than Fidonet. Many of us know of some,
          such as Alternet, EggNet, SigNet and RBBS-NET.  But did you know
          a network exists for Star Trek fans?  Or Macintosh sysops?  How
          about a network for those of the Christian faith? Have you heard
          of MetroNet?  LCRNet? Paranet?  Candynet?  Or the "69LIST"?  If
          not, then OTHERNETS is the echo for you!

     The Poetry Workshop
          A new On-line Poetry Echo was created Feb 14th, 1993 and recently
          on the FidoNet Zone 1 Backbone on May 28th, 1993! This echo is
          designed for poets to share poetry, ideas, challenges, critiques,
          & friendships. The forum also encourages publishing and includes
          discussions of contemporary and past poets. Poetic work is not
          limited to specific forms, and growth in all forms--rhymed and
          unrhymed, regular or irregular--is enjoyed. The growing number of
          poets in this conference always welcomes new writers, published
          or not. Drop by, share some poetry, or just take a look!

     POLITICS
          An open debate type conference for general political discussion.
          Think of it as a "Letters to the Editor" column you can answer.
          Heavy, take-no-prisoners debating. If you are going to get really
          mad at someone who disagrees with you, or you have thin skin, you
          don't belong here. EXPECT a hard time, and don't dish it out if
          you can't take it. Minimal, bottom-line only interference from
          the moderators as long as discussions stay on topic and things
          don't get too out of hand.

          area is intended for Support and lay person may not understand
          "Psychobabble."  Thus the use of terms which have to be
          explained, assuming they will be understood is detrimental to the
          purpose of the conference, for they inhibit general
          communication.  If they MUST be used please define them in the
          message. A place to learn HOW to change feelings or emotions,
          rather than just talking about the problems we have had in life.

          increase the cost of ECHOS. Many SysOps pay Long Distance rates
          to get them, please be considerate of those who are paying the
          bills. Flames result in losss of access. For a copy of the rules,

          questions when an election is in progress at the Net or Regional
          level. R18ELECT is Moderated by Christopher Baker at 1:374/14 and
          Steve Cross at 1:123/19. The Echo is restricted to Region 18
          Sysops only although other FidoNet Coordinators are welcome to
          'audit' the Echo for information only. During an actual election
          for RC or REC, the Election Coordinator assumes the primary
          Moderation along with the Regional Coordinator not involved in
          the ongoing election. The messages entered into the Echo are the
          sole responsibility of the person entering the messages.
          Appearance in the Echo does not imply any support of a particular
          candidate for any office by the Moderators.

     Reproductive Rights (Choice) Issues
          The usual reproduction equation is: get married, get pregnant,
          give birth, raise a child.  Alter even one part of that equation,
          and most of our society doesn't know how to deal with you.
          Chances are, our government doesn't want to deal with your unique
          situation, either.  That doesn't make YOU crazy; it just means
          THEY don't understand.  If you're interested in altering that
          equation, or if you're interested in legislation or bureaucracy
          that tries to make us conform our reproductive lives to their
          standards, join us.  This echo is intended to be a support group
          and a clearinghouse for information that affects our most
          personal family decisions.  An open mind and a willingness to
          tolerate others' choices is a prequisite for joining this
          conference.  Contact Donna at 114/113.11 to establish links; we
          hope to be on the backbone before long.

SAHARA                                                                   SAHARA
     Sahara Club Discussion Area
          A conference for the discussion of environmental-radical tactics,
          land closures caused by them, businesses and recreation attacked
          by them, and what Sahara Club is doing to battle this onslaught!
          This echo is pro-business, pro-land-use, pro-gun rights, pro-OHV
          and very supportive of a badly maligned timber industry. SysOps
          Note: Access to this echo should be for "registered" or
          "validated" BBS users only, though it can be "read-only" for
          others. F'req SAHARA.RUL @ 1:102/825.

          space and its related sciences and technologies, plus relative
          political and industrial issues.  We are interested in the space
          development environment of the present and the near future, not
          scenarios so far into the future as to fall under science
          fiction. Space is BIG, but the focus of this conference is tight.
          While some chit-chat on physics, astrophysics, and astronomy is
          acceptable, discussions on HAM communications, extraterrestrials,
          UFOs, paranormal phenomena, future mutant humans are not.  The
          Space Development Conference is for activists and settlers, and
          most certainly for humans only.  It focuses on news and issues of
          current space development activity.  SPACE is a stand-alone
          conference and has no association with any organization or other
          conference or any file distribution system.

     Mutant Cosmic Star Goat
          The Restored Church of the Star Goat is pleased to provide a
          forum for the distribution of the Star Goat cults' dogma. As most
          intelligent life forms in the galaxy know, Star Goat is a mental
          construct of Douglass Adams' wholly remarkable four- part
          trilogy. (For the rest of you, the secret is, "bang your rocks
          together, guys!") What's not generally known, (since it's a
          secret cult) is that there is a secret cult which has followed
          Star Goat since the 'B' ark landed.  The Moderator is an ordained
          and _legal_minister_ and publishes the wholly remarkable magazine
          "Green Pastures" generally on a monthly basis. (BATF officers are
          not encouraged to participate.)

          bit.  Distribution is private.  We have hubs on each coast that
          exchange messages nightly.  Those wishing to join the echo need
          approval from one of the moderators.  All nodes wishing to join

          Circulars are always available via this conference.

          A conference, similar to STTNG, just for discussion of the new
          televison series, "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine". Since it is
          closely related to ST:TNG (with cross-characterizations) there
          will be _limited_ discussion of ST:TNG allowed on the echo, but
          only as it pertains to the new series. Discussion of, or
          comparison with, the "original" series (TOS), or with any other
          Science Fiction series ("Babylon 5"), is frowned upon, and will
          not be tolerated. But the technology of the era (Runabouts, the
          wormhole) will be fair game for discussion. Participation is open
          to the public. This echo is now on the FidoNet BackBone.

          account, he spent the last thirty years of his life conscious in
          the spiritual world and the material world at the same time. He
          believed the Lord had called him to reveal new ideas which would
          revitalize Christianity.

     International Teenagers' Echo
          This echo is by teenagers for teenagers.  It is one of the most
          active conferences in FidoNet.  Its purpose is for general chat,
          discussion of controversial issues related to teens, and any
          other teen related problem or situation. There are an unusually
          great number of quite vocal participants, and any teen user is
          likely to find someone with similar interests.  Discussions range
          from deadly serious to useless and everything in between.  A
          reasonable degree of freedom is given as to what can and cannot
          be said (unlike in school), but the rules that do exist ARE
          enforced.  Handles are VERY strongly discouraged on this echo.
          ALL systems with teenagers are welcome in the echo. (We accept
          users from age 13 to age 25)

          This echo is for use by those who use or are interested in using
          the TELIX communications program produced by deltaComm
          Development. The echo is carried internationally and users of the
          echo are scattered throughout the world. As such, and since
          international calling is so expensive, off-topic message
          restrictions are strictly enforced. Members of the conference
          include many individuals who are very experienced in the use of
          Telix, including those who have written a variety of Telix
          related utilities. Script files are regularly entered and passed
          via the echo. Several systems carrying the echo serve as
          repositories for the scripts which are transmitted via the echo.
          New members and novice users are welcome and encouraged to share
          their experiences and opinions.

     Tott Echo [See Elist]
          This area is for discussion of issues and problems facing teens
          today. This is a support echo for teens who are facing problems
          such as peer pressure, drugs, family problems, gangs, lack of
          self esteem, pregnancy, school problems, and the like. Peer
          support and adult encouragement are very important here. Teens in
          Fresno County Juvenile Hall are able to participate through a
          special volunteer program, therefore, "Handles" are REQUIRED to
          protect identities. T.O.T.T Sysop companion echo also REQUIRED
          for Sysops. Sysops wishing to carry the TOTT echo agree to the
          following guidelines: Configure your system to require handles on
          the TOTT echo. Profanity, racial remarks, or name-calling are not
          permitted. Criticism or putdowns of others' efforts (spelling,
          grammar, opinions) are not acceptable. VERY IMPORTANT! Kids who
          wind up in custody often have learning disabilities or come from
          dysfunctional families where they have often "failed" or been
          "put down" for their efforts. By accepting their efforts and
          encouraging them to keep trying, we attempt to show them they can
          be successful. Gang-related talk or messages are not permitted.
          Please assist in identifying gang-related type messages which may
          be different in different parts of the country. Alert us via
          TOTT_SYSOP to any message you feel may be a problem. Agree to
          carry and use the TOTT_SYSOP echo in order to remain up to date
          on current issues or problems. Post a test message on TOTT_SYSOP
          as soon as you receive the echo, giving us your name and the
          name, net address and location of your BBS. Co-Ordinators: Faye

     TOTT Sysop Echo [See Elist]
          This echo is required for sysops who wish to carry the TOTT echo.
          This is an administrative area which is intended to allow sysops
          to discuss ideas, explore options and brainstorm about problems
          posted on the TOTT echo. It should not be made available to
          general users. TOTT_SYSOP should not be made available to the
          general public. (NOTE: Moderator approval may be given for
          exceptions IF an individual has a special need for/or can
          contribute in a significant way to the TOTT_SYSOP echo. Please
          contact us for approval if you have someone you feel should be
          given access to this area.) TOTT_SYSOP prefers the use of real
          names; Sysop handles are permitted if your software makes it
          easier to use the same name/handle on both TOTT and TOTT_SYSOP.
          Post a test message on TOTT_SYSOP as soon as you receive the
          echo, giving us your name and the name, net address and location
          of your BBS.

     Study the false christian trinity cults
          This echo will be based on the topic of the "mystery" trinity
          that most of the false christian "denominations" share as their
          three seperate person deities. We will study the history and
          origins of the Babylonian tritheism that evolved into the modern
          trinity cults, and we will study the history of "mama trinity"
          (the RCC) as she murdered multitudes of real Christians as
          "heretics". Our hope and purpose is to help any willing to be
          helped to escape the trinity cults that are conning billions of
          people.

     Satellite Television Echo
          Satellite TV is more than HBO or the Playboy Channel. It's more
          than just another echo devoted to adult toys. The Satellite TV
          Echo is the Fido forum for a wide range of topics.  Like other
          hobbies the more you know the better off you are.  Being a smart
          TVRO consumer means avoiding bad hardware purchases and poor TV
          services! Is it just dish talk?  Not really. Satellite TV is very
          related to cable television (CATV) and direct broadcast satellite
          (DBS).  Therefore, along with conversations involving dish
          hardware and software, you will find discussions on how the cable
          industry and the evolving direct broadcast satellite industry are
          affecting what we dish owners see and buy.  The issue of
          scrambling and video piracy is a topic covered by the TVRO Echo
          but NO posting of pirate decoder codes are allowed !! This is the
          place to receive an education about TVRO. The echo has grown over
          the years and several BBS's connected to the TVRO Echo are run by
          technicians, video programmers, magazine publishers, and TVRO
          "radio" talk-show hosts.  And yes, segments of the TVRO Echo text
          even go up on the GTE Spacenet 3 satellite!  Consider the TVRO
          Echo as THE PLACE to receive an education in the growing area of
          satellite communications.

     USS Liberty (AGTR-5) Incident of June 8, 1967
          Discussion of the Israeli attack upon the USS Liberty on June 8,
          1967 and all related issues.  The attack resulted in 34 USS
          Liberty crewmen killed and 171 wounded.  The conference also
          discusses the unresolved issue of the War Crimes committed by the
          Israeli Defense Forces during the attack.  Those War Crimes
          include - but are not limited to - the use of unmarked aircraft,
          jamming of USS Liberty's radios on both tactical and
          international maritime distress frequencies, the deliberate
          machine gunning of the USS Liberty's life rafts in the water, and
          the refusal of the IDF to offer immediate aid upon cessation of
          hostilities.  The Conference is co-moderated by two USS Liberty
          survivors.

          (yet!) it serves as a forum for all interested in UWSA and
          reforming the American government.

     Victims of False Accusations of Abuse
          Discussions of the tragedy of FALSELY being accused of child
          physical abuse, child sexual abuse, spouse abuse and other false
          domestic accusations, often in the context of ongoing litigative
          disputes over child custody.  Excesses and seizures of children
          by overzealous or malicious Child Protective Services workers.
          This echo is NOT for victims or perpetrators of actual abuse, but
          rather for those victimized by being FALSELY ACCUSED.  Although
          NOT connected officially with the nationwide VOCAL organization
          (Victims of Child Abuse Laws), this Echo deals with most of the
          topics in which VOCAL and similar local groups are involved.

     Biblical discussions and related topics
          An echo for the discussion of Bible topics and themes, with a
          focus on Scriptural basis for ideas. This echo is for Christian
          discussion and not for debating whether Christianity is valid or
          not. Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew scholars welcomed, as we consider
          correct interpretation to be important for correct doctrinal
          beliefs. This echo is dedicated to supplying a place to discuss
          Biblically, without the name-calling and one-sided approach that
          is prevalent in other echos. We understand that different points
          of view and doctrines are out there, and feel that if necessary,
          then all concerned need to "agree to disagree" and then to drop
          the discussion for the time being.

     International WIN32 Echo
          The International WIN32 Echo conference is intended to foster
          discussion of the Microsoft Windows 32 Bit Operating Systems,
          Windows NT and Windows 3.x with WIN32 support. This conference is
          intended as a source of answers to questions users might have
          about Windows 32 Bit Software, and as a clearing house for new
          information about new WIN32 products offered by Microsoft and by
          third party vendors.  Hands-on reviews of such products are
          encouraged, especially with hard facts and data.  Developers and
          programmers are also encouraged to share tips/hints and to seek
          advice from other programmers. We invite everyone who uses WIN32
          , or who is interested in WIN32 , to participate in this
          conference through the free, friendly and helpful exchange of
          information. All messages are to be in someway related to WIN32
          operation. Discussion of other operating environments should be
          carried on in their  respective conferences.  WIN32 is not for
          everyone nor every application.  If it is not your 'cup of tea
          you don't belong here. WIN32 and Microsoft bashing is considered
          "Excessively Annoying Behavior" and will be dealt with as such.
          Also no bashing of OS/2 or IBM or other companies. MICROSOFT
          CHICAGO, MICROSOFT CAIRO, WINDOWS 4.0, AND MS-DOS 7 ARE
          CONSIDERED OFF TOPIC BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO THE
          GENERAL PUBLIC AT THIS TIME.

     WorldWide Opus Consortium Software Developers Forum
          This echo is for use by those who are users of software which is
          used with the Opus CBCS program (c) Wynn Wagner III.  The echo is
          carried internationally and users of the echo are scattered
          throughout the world. As such, and since international calling is
          so expensive, off-topic message restrictions are strictly
          enforced.  Members of the conference include many individuals who
          are very experienced in the use of Opus, including those who have
          written a variety of Opus related utilities, as well as past and
          present developers of Opus itself.  Code fragments are regularly
          entered and passed via the echo. Several systems carrying the
          echo serve as repositories for the messages / code fragments
          which are transmitted via the echo.  New members and novice users
          are welcome and encouraged to share their experiences, opinions
          and questions.

     Writer's Workshop
          Writer's Workshop is a place where myself and several other
          writers of vastly different backgrounds in writing, invite others
          to join us to discuss the ins and outs of the writing business.
          This is a place we hope will become home to writers who take what
          they do seriously, be they beginners or seasoned professionals;
          people who want to learn and share with others. We encourage
          everyone to share the rejections and of course the highlights, so
          that we can celebrate with you. This should be a place of sharing
          and a place of laughter, NOT A PLACE TO SHOW OFF OR CONDEMN!
          Everyone is welcome to share their views, but PLEASE, NO PUBLIC
          BASHING! (Use Netmail for that. <G>) Each week, our moderator,
          Rhia R. Drouillard, posts what she calls THE GOAL POST, and you
          are invited to post your goals for the week with us.  We feel
          that posting goals helps keep us motivated and on track.  Posting
          our goals allows us to support each other through encouragement.
          Writer's Workshop is where our popular newsletter, WRITER'S
          WORKSHOP REVIEW, got its start.  We invite writers to submit
          their best short articles or stories, under 1,000 words.  WWR is
          a great place for first time writers to test out their writer's
          wings.  Come and be a part of this family of writers!  You will
          be glad you did!

     Buddhism and American Culture
          Buddhism has the wonderful ability of adapting to different
          cultures and incorporating the best of each. In America, most
          Buddhists received the dharma from teachers coming from Sri
          Lanka, Japan, and other Asian countries. Yet, to be a Buddhist,
          one does not need to adopt Sri Lankan, Japanese, Chinese, Korean,
          Tibetan, and other beliefs. YEN_KI is for the discussion of
          Buddhism and its interaction with everyday life in America. Its
          name is a hybrid, just like American culture: Yen is a Chinese
          word for fire, Ki is Japanese for energy. We discuss anything
          from baseball and apple pie, through abortion and racism, to
          Bodhisattva of Nazareth and Native American beliefs, all from a
          dharma perspective. (Began March 26, 1993)
