ANIMAL_RIGHTS ANMRGHS
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.

BITCH BITCH
Bitching About Issues and Current Events Conference
BITCH is an aggressive issues/current-events conference. Strong
opinions that would be unwelcome in other conferences are invited
here. The result is generally chaos, but occasional gems can be
found. Get off your chest exactly how you feel while making a
fool DECS out of yourself and others. Not for those looking for
"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. :)
Disruptive behavior is grounds for immediate dismissal from
access. Behavior such as propagation of hate, multiple repeats
of a message, use of obcenities DESC without contributing to
conversation and entering messages that do not promote
point/counter-point conversation will not be tolerated.

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
living tips and tricks and general support. Above all else
though, BlinkTalk is a place where we share friendship, it just
so happens that many of us are visually disabled! Should you have
any questions concerning the echo please netmail the moderator at
his Fidonet address. Do consider joining us in BlinkTalk though,

For those in the United States, Canada and parts unknown. People

Cat jokes allowed. Suspend your reality at the door and be ready
to make fun of yourself. No gross profanity allowed, unless you

The conference in which all desktop publishing products, DOS 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

desktop publishing more than a (frightful) passing thought find
helpful, insightful suggestions and guidance.

ECHOLIST ECHOLIST
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.

This conference is for those who own their own business or who
are are self-employed, or would like to be. We also talk about
various money-making opportunities, legal matters, and other
topics of interest to those in business for themselves. It is
not intended for discussion of Multi-Level Marketing. Therefore,
to help keep the topics separated, the conference rules require
that sysops who carry ENTREPRENEUR must also carry the MLM
conference (please see the entry for MLM ).

EPISCOPAL EPSCPL
Episcopal Echo
This is a group for Episcopalians and others to discuss life, the
meaning of the universe, and everything. Patterned after a
campus Canterbury Club with a Sunday evening dinner tradition.
Participants could be quasi-erudite, might show a respectful
sense of humor, and demonstrate the humility of being less than
98% omniscient. The echo is open to all people, regardless of
their religion, or the number of times they have been born. 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 US mainstream and traditional core of demographics
and theology as spawned the US Declaration of Independence, and
other such revolutionary things.. The 2000 year old trinity of
the KJV is quite welcome, as are humor, burlesque, and parody -
similar to the Jewish tradition of Purim. 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. A non-prophet group with a comfortable identity that can
respect the beliefs of others. Collects and keeps a library of
humor as well as addenda to the book, "These Also Believe".
Certificates "of sufficient omniscience" awarded on a for-prophet
basis to duly authorize pontificators to post outside this
forum...the ONLY source of such certifications! Send a simple
note about your interest and request access! Voice or FAX to

EVOLUTION EVLTN
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.

FILE_ECHO FILEECHO
File echoing software support - Tick, Filemgr, Allfix, etc.
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.

A general "no-holds-barred" echo for a heated discussion and
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.

HOLY_BIBLE HLYBBL
Bible, Wholly_Bible Related Discussions.
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
co-moderators, they are:. John Nash 1:227/150, Jerry Moon

HOME_SCHOOLING HMSCHLNG
Home Education and Related Discussions.
Many people are electing to educate their children at home rather
than sending them to government institutions. Many homeschool for
diverse reasons. It is a political movement rather than
religious. I, though being an Apostolic Pentecostal (just basic
true Biblical Christianity) preacher, do believe that
homeschooling needs to be regarded as a political rather than a
religious issue. HOWEVER, even as a political movement, basic
foundational principles of decency and morality must not be
disguarded. If your interest in Home Schooling is in any way
related to the principles of morality and decency that the USA
was founded upon, you may wish to consider the HOME_SCHOOLING
echo. This echo is not yet on the backbone and would cost you a
few cents a week to pick up from 1:18/98.

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.

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, 3, 4, 5
and 6 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.

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 300-350 messages per day for the entire network. K12net

KATEBUSH KATEBUSH
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

to the age of 18 to have freedom of information interchange in an
environment that is directed primarily toward an adult audience.

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. 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.

NEURAL_NET NRLNT
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.

This echo will be based mainly 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". We also deal with cults like Mormon and JW etc.
Our hope and purpose is to help any willing to be helped to
escape the trinity cults that are conning billions of people.

P_NEWS PNEWS
Progressive News & Views
PNEWS has the distinction of being a conference which is
simultaneously and automatically gated between three networks:
PeaceNet, FidoNet and InterNet and there are a total of 5
conferences. They are international conferences with participants
in Europe, the Pacific, Asia, South and North America. PNEWS
CONFERENCES are based on the proposition that all men and women
are entitled to certain basic rights, to-wit: good and affordable
health care, food, shelter, liveable wages, equal rights and
opportunities and the conferences will examine those issues that
cause despair and alienation. The primary emphasis for the
conferences is the presentation of progressive news, views, and
occasionally some poetry. "Progressive," meaning that which tends
to improve society, the advancement of knowledge and visions for
a better future. These are read and write conferences. Discussion
is encouraged. Articles are also posted regularly from other
PNEWS conferences on PeaceNet and InterNet.

SPACE SPACE
Space Development Conference
This conference is for those interested in settling, exploring,
and developing the final frontier. Acceptable topics include
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.

SWEDENBORG SWDNBRG
Swedenborgian Ideas
This echo is a forum for discussing the spiritual and
philosophical ideas of the new Christianity as envisioned by
Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772). Swedenborg was a scientist and
philosopher who later turned his mind toward religion. By his
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 that would
revitalize Christianity.

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)

TOTT TOTT
Tott Echo [See Elist]
This is a serious echo for teens and concerned adults to discuss
issues and problems facing today's youth. The purpose of the echo
is to help educate the public about the realities many teens face
day to day and provide a "safe" place for teens to talk about
concerns such as peer pressure, drugs or alcohol, gangs, fear of
violence, family problems, getting a job, 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 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. Coordinators: Faye Johnson

TOTT_SYSOP TTTSYSP
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. 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 moderator 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

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

TVRO TVRO
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.

USS_LIBERTY USSLBRTY
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

correct interpretation to be important for correct doctrinal

is prevalent in other echos. We understand that different points

then all concerned need to "agree to disagree" and then to drop

WISE_USE WISEUSE
Wise Use of Public Lands Discussion Area
WISE_USE is a conference for the discussion of wise use of
public and (private) lands, land management by BLM, Forest
Service and others, legislation pertaining to land use, "taking"
of private property by federal agencies, tactics used by
environmental- extremist groups to promote land closures. This
conference promotes the WISE USE of public lands and COMMON-
SENSE environmentalism (CSE), as opposed to the "entire-ism,
extreme protectionism and lock 'em up" approach promoted by those
claiming to be environmentalists working for the good of all.
Examples of CSE are: recycling, alternative energy sources,
energy efficiency, etc. As trendy politics have a huge impact on
land manangement, politics is also a topic for discussion. Rules
apply. F'req WISE_USE.RUL from 1:345/34. In general, posts from
militant environmental "activists" are not permitted. NO flames,
no illegal activities. "Preserving our Natural Resources FOR the
People Instead of FROM the People." -BlueRibbon Coalition

YEN_KI YENKI
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)

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.
