MASTER REPORT
The Echolist
=================
The EchoList, or Elist, is published at the beginning of
each month and is a listing of EchoMail Conferences as
described and submitted by each conference's moderator.
It provides a place for Moderators to advertise their
conferences, both to people who would like to participate,
and to those who route echo traffic. It is also a reference
for distribution systems wishing to contact the Moderator of
an echo, or wishing information about an echo's topics.
Elist entries include topic, distribution and contact
information. Procedural or internal echo operational matters
will normally be put in the rules file for an echo.
The Echolist carries echo listings from various Networks
and distribution systems, including all Zones of Fidonet,
and all such listings are welcomed.

A_THEIST
A_Theist - State/church separation & atheist informatio
A-theist means WITHOUT theists or theism. This echo operates
as an independent forum for free thought and with the understanding
that the Constitutional separation of church and state is
not only desirable, but also absolutely mandated by the
U.S. Constitution, working 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 its attempt to undermine the government
of these United States of America by continuously striving
to inject its dogma and doctrine into federal, state, and
local governments. Contact Alec Grynspan at alec@gryn.com

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!

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.

CCW_ECHO
Crime Watch International Echo Conference
CCW is a conference where users can ask questions, have
discussions, pass information, etc. as relates to the concepts
and philosophies of crime prevention and the development
and formulation of neighborhood crime watch programs. These
concepts and philosophies are consistent with those espoused
by law enforcement agencies throughout the U.S., England,
and Canada, and are those taught by the National Crime Prevention
Institute, University of Kentucky, Louisville, Ky. Users
consist of police officers, citizens, crime prevention practitioners,
or anyone else interested in this topic. The conference
was developed as an adjunct to local Crime Watch and Crime
Prevention programs and is designed to function as an independent
communications network between all community-based, grass
roots crime prevention programs and crime watch organizations,
providing an opportunity to exchange ideas and interact
directly with the people they serve.

CHATTER
Mindless Chatter Conference
A conference devoted to babbling on and on about utter
nonsense, for those in the United States, Canada and all
other parts, known and unknown. People who post serious
topics, personal messages, BBS ads, or advertising of ANY
KIND will be verbally chastised by everybody in the whole
blamed echo. THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING! Messages are light-hearted,
with no chance of accidental seriousness. A perfect place
for stressed-out persons to find fast relief. Hershey Bars
allowed. Meatloaf allowed. Aardvarks allowed. Nose picking
allowed. Cat jokes allowed. Suspend your reality at the
door and be ready to make fun of yourself. No gross profanity
allowed, unless expressed with force by the MODERATOR. Math
proofs and box tops will help, but not much.

COMICS
Comic Book Discussions Echo
The Comics Echo is dedicated to the discussion of comic
books and related topics. The latest books from DC, Marvel,
Image, Dark Horse, and other companies--as well as the creators
behind the books--are discussed, reviewed, and debated.
The Echo is here to talk about comics as a HOBBY and source
of enjoyment, and the get-rich-quick investment mentality
is discouraged. Adaptations in other media, other works
by famous creators, and issues such as creator rights are
discussed as well. Comic book professionals also stop in
from time to time to discuss the industry and field questions
from participants. NO public buying, selling, or trading
of books is permitted except in situations approved by the
moderator.

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 and Delores E. Rowe are the conference's

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

EVOLUTION
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".

FIDS_DEV
Fidonet/Internet Distribution System Developers Forum
FIDS_DEV is a developers forum for the technical discussion,
development, and enhancement of the Fidonet/Internet Distribution
System (FIDS) standard. With the advent of the Internet,
a growing number of Fidonet sysops desire to distribute
FTN data via this network. FIDS addresses this concern
and allows for current mail processor and front end developers
to easily enhance their software with an Internet Distribution
System. Developers and technically inclined sysops who
wish to provide input are invited to participate in this
forum.

FILEFIND
ALLFIX International FILEFIND Echo
This is the International ALLFIX FileFind Echo moderated
out of 1:124/8108 or schrunk1@airmail.net. This echo is
here for the express purpose of allowing users with access
to ALLFIX or some other compatible FILEFIND program to send
a request over FidoNet to find certain files that they are
looking for. FILEFIND req. can be echomail in format.
If some general netmail replies are generated they should
be sent via routed NETMAIL. However since some of these
type of replies can be very larger that should generally
be frowned upon. This echo is here for the specific use
of FILEFIND requests. Not for file announcements or anything
else of that nature. ALLFIX is Copyrighted by Harms Software

FLAME
National FLAME echo
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.

GEOWORKS
Geoworks software conference.
The Geoworks conference is meant for discussion of the
GEOS operating system, as well as devices that use GEOS.
Discussion will primarily concern GEOS as it runs on the
PC or compatable computers. This does not rule out discussion
of GEOS on Commodore or Apple platforms, but it is secondary
to GEOS on the PC. Since New Deal, Inc. has distribution
rights for the desktop version, and has renamed the software,
discussion of GEOS as NDOS (New Deal Operating System) is
on topic. As a corollary, since GEOS/NDOS uses an underlying
operating system such as DOS or OS/2 for file system access,
and for the initial boot and launching, discussion of other
operating systems will be on topic only as much as is needed
to support GEOS.

conference has been developed as an adjunct to the GREAT

HOLYSMOKE
Religion Debate Echo
"Holy Wars Come to YOUR Home Computer!" HOLYSMOKE provides
a forum for the discussion and argument of religions and
religious tenets and practices with a jaundiced eye. HOLYSMOKE
welcomes all debate on the pros and cons of religious indoctrination.
Arguing as to whose religion (or lack of one) is best (and
why) is welcome here so long as it doesn't degrade into
mind-numbing scripture posting or endless "flame for the
sake of flame" messages. This echo also serves as a "dumping
ground" for the dross whose messages are inappropriate in
other religious or non-religious echos, such as HOLY_BIBLE
variants, CHURCH&STATE, R_CATHOLIC, or A_THEIST. "Give
me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to
breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-post to me, I lift my
lamp beside the golden door!" Contact alec@gryn.org to

LURKER
An Echo where most don't post
Now...a place for those who can't stand to post, who want
to remain annonymous, who will never be off-topic! Home
of the LurKolator posting robot. All nodes participating
agree to not commit the sins of over-posting, over-quoting
and obtuse replies. In order to monitor traffic flow,
all participants must raise their right hands each Monday
evening at 1900 hours local time, while online. The LurKolator
Robot will count participants, and based upon sun and/or
moon cycles, the amount of electrons ingested, and the general
ROTFLMAO quotient, may or may not report results in the
echo. Participants who feel compelled to post should
raise their left hands each Monday night at 1900 hours local
time, while online to allow the LurKolator Robot to ascertain
with minimal reference to databases, lists, compiltations
and veiled threats from the moderator that they have weakened.

Discussions of the practice and theory of what is often
called "magick," with a "k," to distinguish it from stage
or other "play." The definition ... is ... discussion....
Both skepticism and advice are welcome. Proseletyzing is
not allowed. This is NOT a Pagan or any other religion
area. Disscusion on religion can easily overwhelm an echo
like this and should be taken to SACRED_MAGICK. The founder
of the echo uses and reserves the handle "Satan". Off-topic
and friendly chatter is directed to our sister echo, Occult
Chatter (OCCULT_CHAT). Otherwise, the only rules are: be
not excessively annoying or easily excessively annoyed,
stay on topic, and The Decisions Of The Moderator Are Final,

MCMOO_SUPPORT
McMoo Support echo
McMoo (Master Control for Max and Outbound Observer) is
a DOS program designed to monitor drive space and display
Maximus and Binkley activity on a networked BBS system.
McMoo should operate on any DOS system with or without
a network. It will also operate in a "host mode" allowing
incoming data calls to be accepted, and it contains powerful
event scheduling routines which provide the same level of
control as most mailers (e.g. Binkley, Front Door) and will
notify you upon receipt of up to 35 (user-defined) files.
McMoo includes a powerful scripting language, offering automated
control of virtually any aspect of McMoo, DOS, or any DOS
program!

MOOSECHAT
Moose and Hoser "Canadian Humor" Chat
MooseChat is an echo for anyone who wants to attempt witty,
humorous, or just plain silly messages. Many distinguished
moose, Hosers from the Great White North, and even famous
Performance Artists like Saddam Hussein and George Bush
have all frequented MooseChat at one time or another. A
moose- like angle, alias, or shtick is appreciated but not
necessary. Moose sometimes stray into serious topics and
political satire is often seen, but those attempting serious
discussion may need to survive receiving silly replies.
The MooseChat "echo theme" is to disseminate knowledge about
the noble moose, to discuss attributes of moose we have
known and admired, and to enter messages which are a bit
more silly or offbeat than one finds in most other echoes.

Mythology Conference.
General Mythology Discussion -- Both Classical & Modern.
This echo is devoted to the discussion of ancient Mythology
-- primarily such topics as Egyptian, German, Greek, Norse,
Roman, Babylonian, Sumerian and other mythos. It is not
so much an area for debate, but an area for discussion of
the legends and tales. Other topics such as Werewolf, Vampire,
and urban legends are also welcome. The conference is flexible,
but to within reason. Modern religious debate is not welcome
-- especially Judeo Christian and Neo-pagan types.

growth and enrichment purposes. Participation is restricted
to members. Regional emphasis in the Upper Midwest, but

nor enough data access nor data retention for the goals.
Non-profit. Look for open meetings and special topic teleconferences.
Has private Networking for a Purpose echos & member activities.
Membership in a Forty Plus group is not required, but membership
in a professional association that is affiliated with a
Forty Plus group is. Access requires a FAX from your group
to 40 Plus of MN... ask. FAX & voicemail at (612) 997-2146.

NO_MODERATOR!
Who owns this echo?
The Elist Keeper claims that the MODERATOR of RECORD owns
the echo because his Robot DOCs say so. The NAB's BOFAQ
bestows the title of MODERATOR on the person who creates
an echo. Yet, the NAB won't accept a request to backbone
the echo from that person if he chooses not to list himself
as the echo moderator. How can they claim that the person
who creates the echo is the moderator and in the same breath
refuse to accept the request from the person who created
the echo? What if there's no elisted moderator? Who owns
the echo? The holder of the password or the moderator?
Who has the final say, the Elist Keeper, the echo creator,
the ZEC, the ZC or the users of the echo? All this and
more as the topic of discussion heats up and the Final Solution
is determined when the echo is backboned.

OCCULT_CHAT
Occult Chatter
This is an echo for off-topic chatter related to conversations
current in such echoes as MAGICK, etc. Any Moderator of
any of the occult or philosophy style echoes offered by
any network are invited to make use of this resource. A
simple message to the Moderator via Netmail, email, or in
the echo will suffice to become "affiliated". Sysops carrying
MAGICK or any other "affiliated" echo are requested to also
carry OCCULT_CHAT so that their users can optimize relationships
and conversations without disturbing topic rules in the
main echo. Moderators may direct OFF-TOPIC matters or Moderator
disputes to this area. Any Moderator of an "affiliated"
echo may act as Co-Moderator under the echo guidelines.
Presently the following echoes are "affiliated": Magick
Sacred Magick Mythology Set Holistic and others noted in
the echo.

Forum for buyers and sellers of OS2 compatable products
A FORSALE echo with a specific theme, all merchandise must
be compatable with OS2. Commercial postings will be allowed
but spamming of huge numbers of posts in a row will be discouraged.
Vendors who advertise products that are not compatable with
OS2 will be asked to take their wares elsewhere. This echo
is not intended to replace the OS2HW echo where discussion
of what works and doesn't work takes place, but is to assist
buyers and sellers of OS2 related products to find each
other. Keep the language clean.

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.

particular emphasis on the QuickBASIC programming language

of BASIC is permitted, though discussion of Power Basic
should be directed to the POWER_BAS echo and discussion

are very experienced in the use of QuickBASIC including
those who have written a variety of QuickBASIC related utilities.
New members and novice users are welcome and encouraged
to share their experiences and opinions.

ROCKETRY
Rocket Science (Model/High-Power/Ama/Pro/Gov/Mil/etc.)
* The FidoNet echo "Rocket Science" (ROCKETRY) is for the
discussion of anything related to all types of Rocketry
(history, NASA, science, hobby, military), posting launch
reports, occasional commercial Rocketry advertisements,
et cetera. Other types of kenetic or static machines, flying
and nonflying models, are topical at this time. * Note:
My system, the origin of ROCKETRY, is a Mail and Point
System, not a Computer Bulletin Board System. Contact me
if: you would like to set up a Point from my system, you
are looking for a dial-up BBS that carries this echo, or
if you need an alternate direct feed. -- Matt Weese (Fane)

ROOTS_MUSIC
Roots Music Discussion
Friendly discussion of the various types of music commonly
referred to as ROOTS MUSIC. These include Folk, Blues,
Rockabilly, Country, Bluegrass, Mountain, and others. The
guidelines for topicality are fairly loose since these styles
of music are frequently linked to other contemporary styles.
Consequently, the conversations here are often quite wide-
ranging and can be enjoyed by people with diverse musical
interests. Everyone is welcome!

SACRED_MAGICK
Discussion about Magick and it's Mythos and Spiritualit
SACRED_MAGICK is for the discussion of Magickal Practices,
and the Sacred Mythologies and Spiritualities that are incorperated
by them. This is my attempt to combine the best of a few
Fido Echos; Those who feel their Magickal systems can not
be easily discussed without dipping into their Religion
or even the Sacred Mythos of the Faith can hopefully find
a home here, and thus not annoy the Moderators of the "Magick"
and "Mythology" echos to no end. ;) We are looking for
discussion of Magick from a more "Religio-Mystical" perspective
rather than a technical one. All faiths are welcome and
will be discussed CENTERING around their Magickal/Mystical
aspects. No "preaching", "conversion tactics", or "attempts
to save our souls" will be tolerated. These will be viewed
as flames, and as off-topic, and treated accordingly.

SIMPSONS
The Simpsons
Discussion of the very popular FOX TV show, "The Simpsons".
A lot of people may think that The Simpsons is just a cartoon,
therefore, is not a "real" show. However, many people find
The Simpsons to be one of the best shows on TV; it is funnier
than many sitcoms, and has a lot of subtle humor. There
are even "special guest voices", such as Johnny Carson,
Kelsey Grammer, and Luke Perry. You're not picking up this
echo!?!? DOHHH! (oooh, Doughnuts!)

TOTT
Turn On To Teens [See Elist before requesting]
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, who agree to carry and use
the TOTT_SYSOP echo in order to remain up to date on special
concerns or issues affecting the TOTT echo. Sysops are requested
to post a test message on TOTT_SYSOP as soon as you are

or putdowns? Pick a subject, take a stand, and try to convince
others to see it your way. Test your powers of persuasion
and your ability to sort through the hype to find what YOU
think about a topic.

TOTT_JC
Juvenile Court
The purpose of this echo is to provide information about
the juvenile court process, its limits, needs, and the rules
under which it operates. Why are things are done a certain
way, how does the court process work, what types of caseloads
are carried by public defenders? What special problems or
needs are faced by parents and court officials? How is the
juvenile system different from the adult system? How do
laws differ around the country? Material included here will
also be of general interest to criminology or legal students,
and to individuals interested in general juvenile justice
issues.

The VATICAN INFORMATION SERVICE (V.I.S.) is a Holy See

of the Apostolic See, Holy See activities (congregations,
councils, synods, etc.); and communiques and positions taken

articles will be posted to the Echo. This echo is read-only
in nature. Posts to the echo are *strongly* discouraged.

WHOLLY_BIBLE
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.

X-FILES
X-Files TV Show Discussions
The X-Files conference is devoted to devotees of the TV
show "The X-Files". Discussions will center on any topic
relevant to the show, such as episode plots, characters,
episode titles and credits, and of course, the scientific
accuracy of some of the issues the show raises, as well
as the feasability of just how true some of the premises
of the episodes can be. Sideline discussions of UFO's and
paranormal phenomena (as they relate to the show) will also
be allowed, as will messages concerning trading, buying,
or the offering for sale of X-Files merchandise and collectables,
as for many people, this is part of their expression of
famdom of the show. (This will not, however, be the main
theme of the echo.)
