                            ECHOLIST
                          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.

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!

         allowed. Cat jokes allowed. Suspend your reality at the

         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.

         to experiment with tobacco, drugs, and alcohol. This unique
         program uses uniformed law enforcement officers to teach

         *Teaching students decision-making skills and the development

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" Discussion and Milennium Madness Watch
          As the year 2000 approaches, certain religions have affixed
         significance to the upcoming new milennium, satisfied that
         there will be some kind of earth-shattering event that will
         change life as we know it.  Believers refer to this as "The
         Rapture" or "Armageddon," and there is a feeling that we
         are living in some kind of "End Times." This echo examines
         this belief from a skeptical point of view, with an eye
         on some of the policies and actions of those who espouse
         this belief.  Also acceptable is discussion about the "Year
         2000 bug," and its effect upon society.  Note:  This echo
         is not a religious echo, and it is not appropriate to use
         it as a forum for evangelism of any kind.

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".

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.

         gender issues. These may be Transexualism, Transvestism,
         Crossdressing, or other related topics. The GENDER echo
         is open to all that have an interest in gender issues. This
         includes behavioral specialists and counselors. The purpose
         of the echo is to be supportive and informative.

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.

HIJACKME
    Designed as a Test of The Echolist Robot
          Specifically designed for those that feel a need to hijack
         an echo...HIJACKME gives YOU an opportunity to attempt to
         aquire an echotag the sneaky way.  Simply send in a MODerator
         UPDate message if you think you know the password.  If you
         guess right, you own the echo...if you guess wrong, you
         get an error message. This echotag is ONLY available at
         thr ECHOLIST at 1:261/1352 To make life more interesting,
         the password will change on a random time basis...after
         all, someone has to win now and again.    You can place
         your email address in one of the DESC lines if you want
         that pulicized.

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 [email protected] to receive echo

LUNATICS
    Lunatic Fringe
          Lunatic Fringe is for people who would like someplace to
         go where they can relax, kick their feet up, and be themselves
         - no matter how weird, obscure, flirtatious, or just plain
         silly they are. Topics can include but are not limited to;
         pointless debates (not flaming), off color discussions,
         bad jokes, puns, poetry, obscure world/local occurrences/events,
         body modification, inane conversations, pseudo intellectual
         discourse and any other mindless discussions which could
         including word play, one liners, etc. Please note this echo
         is not meant to be a haven for hate literature, perverse
         vulgar behavior or flaming. Humor is required :) and close-minded
         individuals are not welcome.

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.

MAGICK

          Discussions of the practice and theory of what is often

         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, nor easily excessively annoyed,

         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.

         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

NET_PURPOSE
    Networking for a Purpose general forum
          Networking between professionals in Forty Plus of MN and
         members of affiliated professional associations.  For professional
         growth and enrichment purposes.  Participation is restricted
         to members. Regional emphasis in the Upper Midwest, but
         no geographic limits. Intended to supplement meetings to
         "swap business cards" with a means to stay in touch when
         travel and meeting schedules just don't give enough contact
         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?
          LaCosta claims that the MODERATOR of RECORD owns the echo
         because he 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.

OTHERNETS
    OtherNets: Information on Networks other than FidoNet
          The OTHERNETS echo has been established for the dissemination

         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.

    QuickBASIC Programming Echo
          This echo is for use by those who program in BASIC, with
         particular emphasis on the QuickBASIC programming language
         by Microsoft Corporation.  Discussion of other dialects
         of BASIC is permitted, though discussion of Power Basic
         should be directed to the POWER_BAS echo and discussion
         of Visual Basic to the VISUAL_BASIC echo.  The echo is carried
         internationally and its participants are scattered throughout
         the world.  As such, and since international calling is
         expensive, off-topic message restrictions are strictly enforced.
          Members of the conference include many individuals who
         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.

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.

SAILOR_MOON
    Sailor Moon Discussion & Fan Echo
          This is the place to be, if you're looking for information
         on your favorite Sailor Scout, or UUENcoded pictures of
         your faves.  We ask that you limit your picture posts, to
         10 at a time, and  label them 1/10, 2/10 etc.. so that those
         who aren't interested in the pictures, can bypass them easily.
         We are aspiring to put together a collection of Sailor Moon
         pictures, and sound files. If you would like to contribute,
         please send your contributions to either of the addresses
         listed below. Handles are not required, but are allowed,
         Obscene and foul language will not be tolerated, as we do
         cater somewhat to  a younger crowd.  See you there!

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,

         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!)

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.

         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
