| | The Echolist | |
| O | ============ | O |
| | | |
| O | The EchoList, or Elist, is published at the beginning of | O |
| | each month and is a listing of EchoMail Conferences as | |
| O | described and submitted by each conference's moderator. | O |
| | | |
| O | It provides a place for Moderators to advertise their | O |
| | conferences, both to people who would like to participate, | |
| O | and to those who route echo traffic. It is also a reference | O |
| | for distribution systems wishing to contact the Moderator of | |
| O | an echo, or wishing information about an echo's topics. | O |
| | | |
| O | The Echolist carries echo listings from various different | O |
| | Networks and distribution systems, including all Zones of | |
| O | Fidonet, and all such listings are welcomed. It is sponsored | O |
| | by the Fidonet Zone 1 Echomail Coordinator who appoints the | |
| O | Echolist Coordinator. | O |
| | | |
| O | The Echolist Coordinator | O |
| | ======================== | |
| O | | O |
| | The Echolist Coordinator is responsible for maintaining | |
| O | the Elist software and producing the Elist data and help | O |
| | files for distribution. These contain the answers to most | |
| O | commonly asked questions. | O |
| | | |
| O | Assistance with obtaining these files, understanding | O |
| | message formatting, update frequency, current status of an | |
| O | echo, and similar questions should be obtained from one of | O |
| | the following sources: | |
| O | | O |
| | Local sysop echo | |
| O | Net Echomail Coordinator | O |
| | Region Echomail Coordinator | |
| O | | O |
| | The Files | |
| O | ========= | O |
| | | |
| O | The following files are distributed in the ECHOLIST file | O |
| | echo, and are available by file request from Fidonet 1:1/201. | |
| O | They are also available via Internet from the following | O |
| | echomail Web Page: | |

| | | |
| O | In all the above files, nnn is the final digit of the year | O |
| | plus the month number (the July issue of 1996 is thus 607). | |

| O | | O |
| | The Format | |
| O | ========== | O |
| | | |
| O | In this file, if the phrase "DELETE WARNING" is written on | O |
| | the line immediately below an echo tag name, the echo's | |
| O | entry has not been updated for 5 months. If not updated | O |
| | prior to the next Echolist report (i.e. 6 months after the | |
| O | last update), the echo's entry will be deleted from this file. | O |
| | | |
| O | Duplicate conference tag names are not accepted for this file. | O |
| | | |
| O | The Contact | O |
| | =========== | |
| O | | O |
| | Due to time constraints, the Echolist Coordinator can not | |
| O | provide general information on Elist operation to | O |
| | individuals. Such information is in ELMOD and ELFAQ. | |
| O | | O |
| | Questions which can not be answered by the appropriate NEC | |
| O | or REC may be addressed to the Echolist Coordinator | O |
| | (Adrian Walker) at 1:1/201 by netmail or in the ECHOLIST echo. | |

374NITPICK
Net 374 Nitpicking Sysop Echo for Nitpicking Sysops
A non-Backbone Echo distributed via past or present members
for the purpose of microdebating non-important non-issues by
self-appointed local 'sealawyer-type' Sysops of Net 374 most of
whom have recently migrated into Net 374 from military bases or
other Nets where their foolishness went unchallenged.
This Echo serves to relieve the crap level from the real local
Sysop Echo [374SYSOP] where nitpickers previously plied their
dissatisfaction with FidoNet and Net 374 ops. It is modeled on
on a previous and similarly designed local Echo called R18COORD
which was a circular flame Echo for dissatisfied Net Coordinators
in Region 18 to bitch and moan about standard FidoNet ops they
didn't agree with.

AMIGA_FILEFIND
Filefind Echo for AMIGA computers
This is an echo that allows you to send a search request via
the echo to "FILEFIND", "ALLFIX" etc. being utilized by
participating BBS's and have the response come back from these
BBS's via the echo, informing you as to what your search has
found. (Some systems will opt to send replies via NetMail).
Thus, you are able to do a FILE REQUEST via netmail on
the basis of your search. If you do not have access to FILE
REQUESTS via your BBS or POINT software, another option to
obtain the file would be to call one of the BBS's you receive
your reply from, log on and download it directly. It sure
beats having to FILE REQUEST a BBS's file list (sometimes HUGE)
or logging on to search their lists when you are looking for
just one file! Conversation will be restricted SOLELY to
questions and answer type dialogue and "HOW TO" (do a
search) will be posted weekly.

A_THEIST
A_Theist - State/church separation & atheist information
A-theist means WITHOUT theists/theism in government. This Echo
operates as an independent forum for free thought and with the
understanding that the Constitutional separation of State and
church is not only desirable but absolutely mandated by the U.S.
Constitution and works toward that end with education and source
information. It is not a 'bashing' Echo but it does operate under
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
traffic in the Echo are available in the sample file A_THEIST.ZIP

BLINKTALK
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 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 you'll be glad you did!

BLOWHARDS
Blowhard venting Echo for Sysops who can't help themselves
---A non-Backbone Echo distributed via past or present members
for the purpose of microdebating non-important non-issues by
self-appointed 'sealawyer-type' Sysops of FidoNet most of
whom have recently migrated into FidoNet from military bases or
walks of life where personal power was denied to them.
---This Echo serves to relieve the crap level from the real Echos
[like ZEC or MODERATOR] where nitpickers previously plied their
dissatisfaction with FidoNet and real world ops. It is modeled
on a previous and similarly designed local Echo called R18COORD
which was a circular flame Echo for dissatisfied Net Coordinators
in Region 18 to bitch and moan about standard FidoNet ops they
didn't agree with.
---Blowhards are concentrated in New Jersey but are also found in
Texas, Missouri, New York, Oklahoma, and Alabama among others. You
probably have Blowhards in your own Net or Region or Zone.
---Blowhards can be identified in FidoNet Echos by their
self-referential and circularly reinforcing rhetorical style as
well as the number of ad hominems per Echo message. Masters of
the 'Big Lie' school of revisionist history, Blowhards seldom
recognize themselves even upon detection and notification. Now,
they have their own Echo to pollute and in which they may be
blissfully content to continue fantacizing they have any inkling
of what FidoNet is or does. [But don't count on it.]

CALLSIGN
Amateur Radio License Callsign Server Echo
A conference for making inquiries about the current status
of the licenses of Amateur Radio ("Ham") operators.
The Callsign Server was originally seen in the Backboned
echo AMATEUR_RADIO, but there was sufficient demand for
this echo to be placed on the Backbone.
The method of using the CALLSIGN echo is simple. A message
is sent from a user to "Callsign Server", with the subject
being "<actual callsign>", in which case, if there is a match,
the Server will produce the name, address, and type of class
license that the operator possesses. At this time, the server
will ignore all requests for name or ZIP-code searches. No other
discussions will be allowed on the echo, except for questions
on how to correctly operate the Callsign Server (which will be
posted as a FAQ file, along with the rules of the echo).
All callers are welcome, but please limit your requests to
no more than two a week.

maintaining a recovery-oriented atmosphere. Sysops are asked to allow
participants to use their first name and last initial to maintain
anonymity, but the use of aliases is NOT PERMITTED. Quoting is
beneficial to most responses, but excessive quoting (more than six
lines before responding) is considered OFF TOPIC for this echo.

So are threads about gerbils, spatulas, and Ayn Rand. Threads
that assert Ayn Rand actually =was= a gerbil or spatula would

CPMTECH
CP/M Operating System Technical Discussion
Open forum for the discussion of CP/M and related operating systems,
including CP/M-80, CP/M-86, and MP/M. CP/M-80 is the most famous of the
family, defining the Intel 8080 and Zilog Z-80 microcomputing standard
of the late 1970s and into the early 1980s. Although overtaken on the
desktop by MS-DOS and 16-bit operating systems, CP/M survives today both
on new systems and on older machines. Many of the great names in the
history of the microcomputer are associated with CP/M, including Altair,
IMSAI, Processor Technology, NorthStar, Morrow Designs, Cromemco, Kaypro,
Osborne, and too many others to list. Although no longer supported by
Digital Research (now a part of Novell), CP/M is an active area of work
for many programmers who continue to refine it, adapt it, and port it to
additional platforms. CP/M originated many of fundamental concepts of
microcomputer operating system architecture, such as the BIOS, and much
of the early MS-DOS 1.x was directly inspired by or ported from CP/M.
This echo serves as a focal point for those working with CP/M and its
variants, including systems programmers, application programmers, and
users looking for information.

DEBATE
DEBATE Conference
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. Alec Grynspan is
the conference's co-moderator.

originally used by members of the Zone 1 Echopol drafting
committee during its 1993 - 1994 tenure. It is currently
inactive and will be held for use in future Echomail Policy
discussions. The echo is carried on a passthrough basis only, by
some intermediate hubs, and only committee members may receive
the echo or participate in it.

ECHO_REQ
Echo Requests
A conference for making FidoNet Zone 1 Echo Requests.
This echo is for the discussion and sharing information on
conferences ("echos") in Zone 1 of FidoNet. This is not limited
to echos seeking FidoNet Zone 1 "BackBone" status, but for
anybody that wants to "advertise" their privately-distributed
echo, as well as for increasing the readership of already-
established BackBone echos.
Advertising of echos should not be placed in ECHO_REQ more
than once a week. It is also suggested that this echo be
"read-only" to people other than moderators or SysOps. But,
reasonable questions about echos are "on-topic". The discussion
of the operation of the BackBone(s), or Planet Connect, however,
is OFF-TOPIC here, and should be taken to the Z1_BACKBONE echo,
or a more appropriate administrative echo.

EPISCOPAL
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 (612) 683-9898

for life. Only talk of prolife issues will be allowed. This
is not the place to debate if abortion is morally right
or wrong. Members of any direct action group (Operation
Rescue, Lambs & others) are welcome to give information
about rescues that they have attended, reports about them
including the number of arrests, babies saved, pro-aborts
arrested and other things that they see as important. Announcements
of rallies and calls to action, and pleas for help are also
welcome here from such groups. This echo should be a forum
to express ideas to stop abortion in America, and to help
end the senseless killing of innocent children.

issues of interest to members of this forgotten generation. This

and the construction of a future in America within which this
generation can survive and prosper in spite of the neglect and

understanding of a higher power relates to our day-by-day

others to any particular religious denomination, cult or

HOLY_BIBLE
Bible, Wholly_Bible Related Discussions.
HOLY_BIBLE and "Wholly_Bible" are (C)(sm)(tm)1991-1996 Steve Winter
with all rights reserved worldwide.
A FidoNet Backbone echo since 1991
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 echo exists to promote and discuss true
original Apostolic Biblical Christianity .
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 also is gated to/from the PRIME Network (PreRapture TM).

Respond to posts In the Holy Bible echo after you've been cut.
Have YOU been called False Christian Scum and your access cut?
Are posts being made to you in the Holy Bible echo that you can't
respond to? Well, you can now. This echo is devoted to the
ability to respond to the statements made to you and about you
in the Holy Bible echo that you are denied permission to reply
to there. This is not a bash or flame echo, but an echo devoted
to allowing you to continue your discussion of the Bible and
religion that you started in the Holy Bible echo and to debate
the "teachings" in that echo. A calm and rational discussion of
the beliefs as presented in the HOLY_BIBLE echo, with the hope of
reaching an understanding of others.

This echo is intended to be a place to discuss Carlos Castaneda

of Central America and the beliefs of its ancient peoples is of
interest since they are the basis from which Carlos's sorcery
devolves. Of equal interest would be discussion of the possibility
of mastering at least part of this sorcery, and the implications
the attitudes Carlos advocates have for modern people. The
moderators believe Carlos's writings potentially constitute the
first new information from beyond the everyday world in a very
long time. However, discussion of precisely why we should or
should not believe what Carlos and the others have to say will
definitely be on topic.

K12.SYSOP
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. 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 300-350 messages per day for the
entire network. K12net (sm)(tm) is the mark of Jack Crawford.

KIDS
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.
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.

This echo is for kids, 12 years of age and under. Topics
of all kinds related to young children are encouraged. Using a
modem can be lots of fun. It can be a wonderful way to learn
new things, build friendships, find information. And, like
other places were we meet and talk with people, it is a place
that deserves our good manners and kindness. What better place
to teach proper modeming protocol?

LYRICS
Posting and Discussion of Popular Song Lyrics
Do you stay awake at night worrying about mondegreens?
Got a favorite song that you can't figure out the
lyrics to? Are you a performing vocalist needing
to get words right the first time? Do you even know
what a mondegreen is, anyway? :-) In LYRICS you can
post words to _published_ songs (no *original* poetry,
prose, rap, or spoken word please!), ask for help on
a tricky line, or discuss the hidden meanings of your
favorite songs. Please, please, please - feel free
to jump in and help out, ask questions, or dissertate.
All musical genres are welcome, but be forewarned that
your moderator is a full-tilt modern rock bassist/vocalist
with a yearning for the latest radio-savvy alternative
hits, so the conversation will probably swing that way!

MACDTP
Mac-oriented Prepress and DTP discussion
Formed as an alternative to the LASERPUB and INK echoes,
MACDTP is primarily for discussion of _Macintosh_ issues in
the Prepress and DTP industries. Geared towards the high-end,
we discuss hardware (Scanners, Imagesetters, Printers), software
(Applications, OPI), and related issues of compatibility with
some cross-platform topics creeping in (we don't want to exclude
the klone users, just weed out all the WIN '95 discussion).

Macintosh OS discussions, speculation, and help
The MacOS echo is a place to talk about issues revolving
around the Macintosh operating system. Discussion of old
systems (for example, System 6 or before) is welcome, as is
speculation and information regarding Copland and other
future Macintosh systems. Discussion of System 7 and it's
quirks and features will likely be the mainstay of the echo
for now, until Copland is released to the world.
MacOS differs from the SYSTEM7 echo in that very little will
be off-topic, as long as the general theme involves the
MacOS or its components, or the interaction between
applications and system software components. MacOS will be
an open and friendly place to discuss Mac OS issues.

welcome.

strongly suggested that users preferring not to reveal their

This is not strictly a Pagan area but a place for all creeds
to discuss the various views of such topics. Proselytizing is
NOT allowed.
The Moderator uses the handle, Satan, and is the Patriarch of
The Church Of The Adversary (Mystic) which is essentially a parody
of systems. The Co-Moderators are known as the Right Hand of Satan
(Pat Sherman) and The Left Hand of Satan (Irv Koch). The church
does not preach any approach but attempts to question claims in the

MESSIAH
Fantasy role-playing based on the book of Revelation.
This conference is unlike any other ever attempted in the
history of FidoNet. Based on the Book of Revelation from the
Holy Bible, this echomail role-playing game promises to
challenge every christian, intrigue every athiest, and astonish
every man woman and child who plays the game. Entry into the
game is simple... just send a message to the Moderator with the
subject line ECHO|Application and indicate that you wish to play
the game. The game itself consists of a small community in
Central Illinois struggling to survive the diplomatic and
economic changes of a world without a God. The game takes place
immediately following the rapture (as prophecied in Revelation)
and promises to be an exciting exploration of our future
presented in a fashion both entertaining and terrifying.
Participation is NOT restricted to Christians, and as such,
Christians who participate are warned that non-Christian
participants will be free to play their characters in accordance
with their individual religious beliefs. However, for all
participants, Christian and otherwise, the Game Master (who also
happens to be the Moderator) has the final word, and for the
purposes of this game is the only 'god' in authority. ;-)
Make your request today for this echo to be backboned. As soon
as it is on the backbone, we will begin accepting new players in
the game and start assigning positions. Connect to the echo,
and join in with the most exciting new concept in fantasy
role-playing. See you there, or in the air.

dislike the fact that you spend more time in front of the keyboard
than with her or him? Do you occasionally forget to mow the lawn,
vacuum the house, cook dinner, and pick up the kids from school? Do
you defend your actions with "it is only hobby and not something which
possesses me" over and over again? Does the excuse, "Just give me
a few more minutes, I am almost finished" sound familiar? If so,

products for Microsoft Word Products. No other software,
hardware, etc. questions (including Windows and/or other

competitive products is permitted. The Moderator will
absolutely not permit the "My wordprocessor is better than
your wordprocessor" syndrome into the echo. Speculation on
features, release dates, beta cycles, etc. of future
releases of Microsoft Word is not permitted. Keep in mind
that since this echo supports ALL versions of Word it is a
good idea to state which version you are referring to in
your messages to avoid confusion.

NETSYSOP
Net 135 sysop conference
This is the Net 135 sysops conference. It is a private
conference for Net 135 sysops and co-sysops and former
members of Net 135 who are present FidoNet sysops.
This conference is presently unmoderated and this listing is
intended to announce that the tagname is in use. Should the
conference be changed to a moderated conference or the N135C
or N135EC request the password, it will be given to the
moderator or the N*C as the case might be. The lister claims
no rights to moderate or have any duties or rights to the
conference and does this because, having been a sysop since
before FidoNet started, is probably brain damaged. The
moderator entry in the MOD line only means to comply with the
requirement that there be a contact person for this elist
entry.

OTHERNETS
OtherNets: Information on Networks other than FidoNet
The OTHERNETS echo has been established for the dissemination
of information about "OtherNets". OtherNets are the multiple
alternative networks other than FidoNet. Many of us know
of some, such as AmberNet, EggNet, Signet and RBBS-NET.
But, did you know a network exists for Star Trek fans? Or
business users? How about a network for those of the Christian
Faith? Have you heard of LCRNet? Paranet? CandyNet? Where
can you find Netland Electronic Magazine? If you're interested
in alternative networks, you'll want to participate in the
OTHERNETS echo. THE list of othernetworks...NETSALL.ART
is published weekly in OTHERNETS, and contact points for
these networks are urged to join the echo. Posters in OTHERNETS
echo MUST be able to receive either Fido Netmail or InterNet
E-Mail. A sister echo, NETLINE may be used for detailed
communications between members of the Othernets.

of the Paul Revere Network is to enhance the ability of Second

really, to bypass the mass media bias against firearms and their
ownership. We don't have radio and TV broadcast facilities,
so we are using the phone company's "narrowcast" capability.
We welcome your input and encourage you to use these resources.
Moderated by Leroy Pyle, firearms instructor and retired police
officer. Pro-Gun cops are welcome and encouraged to participate.

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 4
conferences. It is an international conference. 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.

to Rob Kittredge's home BBS, so the author of the program is quite active,
too. If you run QFront, you shou carry this conference for the latest
info, tips, and product announcements relating to QFront. QFront comes
in two flavors, PCBoard, and Wildcat. Due to this, the possibility exists
for "my software is better than yours". If you want to stoop to that
childish stuff, take it elsewhere. We have better things to talk about
here. :)

SCIENTOLOGY
Church of Scientology Discussion Forum
This forum is dedicated toward the _detailed_ discussion
of the Church of Scientology; specifically the pseudo-
scientific aspects of its "tech" and how it's used upon
children, the activities of its leaders and operators,
past and present court cases, legal findings, world-wide
picket organizing, and anything else related to activities
of the CoS. RIDICULE OF COS MEMBERS WILL NOT BE PERMITTED.
Ex-Scientologists and "Free Zoners" are encouraged to
participate to provide a forum for discussing difficulties
reassociating themselves back into society. Current rank-
and-file Scientology members are also encouraged to
participate to learn more about the CoS from those who had
at one time been members. This forum will be selectively
gated into and out of Internet's alt.religion.scientology
forum. No personal attacks against participants will be
permitted and participants should attempt to focus upon the
_activities_ of the CoS rather than ridicule honest people.
If you've ever wondered what Scientology is and wondered
why they have "free personality tests," what Dianetics is,
who Xenu is, what "body thetans" are, what an "e-meter" is,
and why your jaws hurt, this is a good forum for learning

will not be tolerated. But the technology of the era

TREK_FAN_ORG
Star Trek fan organization discussions
Did you know that there _are_ Star Trek fan organizations
out there? They have names like Starfleet Command, STARFLEET,
the International Federation of Trekkers, The Federation,
Klingon Assault Group, and Klingon League of Attack Warriors.
These organizations have all kinds of imaginary Starships,
Starbases, and Outposts, but they all have _one_ thing in common -
they all have real, LIVE members in them! These fan clubs are all
over the world!
If you want to talk _about_ Star Trek, you'll be directed towards
one of the other Star Trek discussion echos.
The TREK_FAN_ORG echo will have only one purpose in mind -
if you want to find out more about any local Star Trek fan group
or world-wide organization, then _this_ is the place to ask!
As of February 1995, this echo is on the Z1 BackBone! But, other
Networks _will_ be allowed to Gate this echo to their systems.

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/DSS). 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.

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.
