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.

The companion to the 14_REC echo. All users of BBSs in
Region 14 are encouraged to use this echo. Nothing official
here, just for conversation between users. No flames, AKA's
are permitted if you really feel the need to, and try not
to have any robot postings in there, okay? :-)

14_REC
Region 14 Echomail Coordinators And SysOps
The tagname's misleading - 14_REC is open to all SysOps
and Co-SysOps within Region 14 (user chat is available in
14_CHAT), and exists primarily to provide access to the
RC and REC. This echo is the forum for administrative business
within the Region, and every Net is strongly encouraged
to read / carry / participate in it. If you snooze, you
lose! No flames, real names, and no bogus node numbers please!
Robot postings from the RC and REC should be expected; robot
postings from SysOps are subject to RC/REC approval.

BARDROOM
BardRoom Authors' and Poets' virtual Get-Together
For authors, poets, playwrights, scribblers, and kindred
spirits, there's a virtual open house at Pauline's BARDROOM.
Discussions of the literary arts, the writing life, and
the composition and uses of oobleck are on topic here, and
we're always eager to read, critique, and discuss (brief)
extracts from works-in-progress. Lighthearted general chat
and banter, but flames, rudeness, and hostility are strictly
verboten. Politics, religion, and controversial issues may
be dealt with carefully and with the moderator's approval.

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!

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

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.

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.

EDGE_ONLINE
End Times - Mystery Babylon and the Beast 666
As the year 2000 approaches, certain religions of various
flavours are working towards a new religion, or "Global
Ethic", recognising a need for unity as a means of solving
humanity's many problems, such as war, poverty, hunger,
pollution etc. This is not in itself bad, but is leading
to the fulfilment of prophecies concerning the rise of a
false religious system, described as "Mystery, Babylon the
Great", in Revelation 17. Rising with the false religious
system is a false Christ (Messiah), known as the Antichrist,
or Beast 666, and with him a false prophet, who will cause
all to worship the Beast 666 or to be killed. All trade
will be conducted by means of a mark applied to the right
hand or forehead, with those who refuse to take the mark
or to worship the Beast 666 being killed. This echo is to
investigate, to the extent possible, the rise of these systems.

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".

EYMERICH.ITA
I Romanzi di Nicolas Eymerich
Meeting place for fans of Nicolas Eymerich novels and stories
(and other works by author Valerio Evangelisti). In Italian!
Punto di incontro per gli appassionati di romanzi e racconti
di Nicolas Eymerich (ed altre opere di Valerio Evangelisti).
Nicolas Eymerich (1320-1399), Inquisitore Generale d'Aragona
e` un personaggio realmente esistito. Ma Valerio Evangelisti
ne ha tratto una figura letteraria impressionante, le cui
lotte contro l'eresia hanno sempre ripercussioni sulla nostra
era o su quelle future. Sempre al confine fra la fantascienza
ed il gotico, le sue opere catturano il lettore piu` di
una ruota da tortura....

FILEFIND
ALLFIX International FILEFIND Echo
This is the International ALLFIX FileFind Echo moderated
out of 1:124/8108 or trrc@bise.tzo.com. 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.

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, or R_CATHOLIC. "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.com to receive echo

INTBBS_WK
International BBS Week echo
An echo for the planning and execution of an International
BBS Week, to educate the modem-using public that there IS
an alternative to the Internet, and to promote the use of
FidoNet and all private networks and all BBSs worldwide.
We want to promote ALL BBSs, not just our own, and while
other BBS promotion echos rely heavily on the Internet,
we work mainly in LOCAL groups, promoting LOCAL BBSs. This
is NOT an echo for flaming or faultfinding, and none will
be tolerated. It is only for CONSTRUCTIVE criticism and
ideas on how to increase BBS and network awareness and activity
around the world. We all know that FidoNet and all the BBS
nets are taking a hit from the Internet. Everyone who wants
BBSing to get back to it's former glory, come join us in
reversing the trend.

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.

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.

NO_MODERATOR
Who owns this echo?
LaCosta claims that the MODERATOR of RECORD owns the echo
because his Robot software says so. If there's no MODERATOR
listed, who owns an echo? The Elist Keeper? The holder
of the password in trust for the users? Who has the final
say so, the Elist Keeper, the Trustee, 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.

We would like to welcome anyone interested in poetry to
join us in the largest Poetry Conference on FidoNet! Created
on February 14th, 1993 this echo is designed for poets to
share poetry, ideas, challenges, critiques, & friendships.
The forum also encourages publishing and includes poetry
discussions of contemporary poets as well as poets from
the past. Poetic work is not limited to specific forms,
and growth in all forms-- rhymed and unrhymed, regular or
irregular--is enjoyed. We are always looking for new poetry
and encourage discussion of the mechanics as well as the
writer's philosophy of poetry. The growing number of poets
in this echo always welcomes new writers, published or not.

QUEEN_FOR_A_DAY
Lets you play queen for the day
QUEEN_FOR_A_DAY is an echo which contains a monthly contest.
The prize for this contest is not a new washer, dryer, vacuum
or anything like on the old TV show. Instead the prizes
are moderatorships of different echoes. Score will be tallied
on the fifth of every month. The rest of the time the echo
will be used to talk about tactics to use for hijacking
echoes, what moderators keep a low profile and sometimes
just some advice from "the queen". Open to anyone, aliases
are allowed. Especially welcome are echo moderators and
participants who have personally met in head on collisions!
Off with their heads!

of announcing releases of new programs and new releases
of existing products; 3) to provide registration & product
information to sysops who use or are interested in using
the Quik utilities. There are no restrictions governing
who may access this echo, but generally it will only be
of interest to (potential) sysops running QuickBBS, ProBoard,
Maximus, RemoteAccess (and any BBS packages capable of running

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.

RETAIL_HORROR
An outlet for the horror stories of Retail Shopping.
We have all had our problems with retail shopping. They
can range from clerks who know nothing about their products,
shops who have been out of a certain type of product for
months, prices that are no where near what they are listed
in the sales flyers, etc. This echo will try to give an
outlet to those horror stories. Some of them are serious,
some are funny, hopefully they all get solved, but sometimes
you just have to vent.

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

Consequently, the conversations here are often quite wide-
ranging and can be enjoyed by people with diverse musical
interests. Everyone is welcome!

netmail should be sent to Andrew Serrano at 1:3618/555 as
soon as possible. If no action is taken after a reasonable
amount of time, contact Jay Fuller, senior moderator, at

TFDN
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.

Freethinker Watch on Religious Shenanigans Echo
The THEIST_WATCH echo is a news feed forum operated by
Fredric L. Rice at 1:218/890 and Richard Smith at 1:203/9046.
The purpose of the echo is to issue news reports detailing
the many and varied oddities, contradictions, and just plain
silly stuff in which cultists of all stripes engage, with
particular focus upon illegal, dangerous, or unethical practices.
Such nonsense is bound to get ever worse as the year 2000
approaches and this forum will pay close attention to what
theists do during the current "silly season." Those who
wish to engage in debate over unrelated topics should take
their debates to HOLYSMOKE or one of the theist echos or
networks. Those who wish to keep an eye on the machinations,
canards, and scary stuff cultists do in the name of their
Deity(-ies) may want to tap into this echo for some eye-opening
news items. This echo is not to be gated into any other
network without the written permission of the

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

VATICAN
News direct from the Vatican Information Service (VIS).
The VATICAN INFORMATION SERVICE (V.I.S.) is a Holy See
information system instituted within the framework of the
Holy See Press Office which furnishes information on the
pastoral and magisterial activity of the Holy Father and
the Holy See. Begun in 1991 V.I.S. is available Monday through
Friday except for the month of August. V.I.S. deals primarily
with the acts and nominations of the Holy Father; syntheses
of his homilies and speeches, presentations and communications
relative to documents written by the Holy Father or departments
of the Apostolic See, Holy See activities (congregations,
councils, synods, etc.); and communiques and positions taken
by the Holy See normally made public through the Press Office.
During the month of August when VIS is closed other pertinent
articles will be posted to the Echo. This echo is read-only
in nature. Posts to the echo are *strongly* discouraged.

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.)

Gathering place for fans of the hit show Xena Warrior P
This would be a place for those that watch the insanely

is a weekly program set in ancient Greece and is based in
a pre-Christian society. As the titles say: "In a time
of ancient Gods, warlords and kings..." This would be a

One of the primary Newsgroups for this show sports 200+
