     =================                                               
                                                                     
     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.

          might have about the Amiga, and as a clearing house for
          new information about new Amiga products compatible with
          the Classic Amiga whether they are made by Amiga Inc or
          by third party vendors.  Hands-on reviews of such products
          are encouraged, especially with hard facts and data.  We
          invite everyone who uses the Amiga, or who is interested
          in the Amiga, to participate in this echo through the friendly
          and helpful exchange of information.

     International Apple II Echo                                           
           "Apple II Forever!"  The International Apple II echo is
          for the discussion of issues pertaining to the use of Apple
          Computer's Apple II series of home computers. All relevant
          topics covering hardware or software are allowed, and reasonable
          for sale posts are permitted.  Please note that Macintosh
          conversation is discouraged, save for within the context
          of the "synergy" between the Macintosh and Apple II, but
          discussion of the Apple I and Apple III is certainly appropriate.
           Gating this echo without moderator permission is a no-no,
          and any echo policy documents do not apply here.

           The purpose of this echo is to discuss the ARROWBRIDGE
          door game written by Mark Sinclair. Arrowbridge is based
          on Dungeons and Dragons but is far more detailed in RPG
          oriented play. Discussions include strategies, game features,
          future enhancements, beta development, and third-party support
          programs. Other topical discussions include help and advice
          for new players to the game.

BLOWHARDS           
     Blowhard venting echo for blowhard sysops                             
           A non-Backbone echo distributed for the purpose of microdebating
          non-important non-issues by self-appointed 'sealawyer-type'
          Fidonet participants, many of whom have recently migrated
          into FidoNet from the military or from walks of life where
          personal power was denied to them.  This echo serves to
          relieve the noise level from other echos where nitpickers
          previously plied their dissatisfaction with Fidonet and
          real world ops, all the while demonstrating their ignorance
          of how things really work.  Blowhards are found in North
          Carolina, Ontario, and Georgia, among others. 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 message.  Masters of the 'Big
          Lie' school of revisionist history, Blowhards seldom recognize
          themselves even upon detection and notification.

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.

CROSSFIRE           
     Just Another Politics And Religion Debate Echo                        
           Echo to take the bleedover arguments away from any echo
          that deals with political and religious debate, such as
          but not limited to POL_INC, HOLYSMOKE, POLITICS etc. To
          help keep the cross-echo pissing matches to a bare minimum.
          This is not a flame echo.

     The Dads Discussion/Support Echo                                      
           The primary focus of this echo is as a Forum for disenfranchised
          Dads. The goal is to help them find ways of keeping their
          relationship with their children viable. However, that does
          not exclude others, including women from posting their views
          in the Echo.  Please, however, remember that the primary
          goal is for DADS.  Positive input from all sources is encouraged
          and welcome.

     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.

EDGE_ONLINE         
     End Times - Mystery Babylon and the Beast 666                         
           The aim is to examine two emerging powers. The first is
          a false religious system, described as "Mystery, Babylon
          the Great", in Revelation 17. The second 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. Topics include, but are not limited to, e-Government,
          e-Health, e-Commerce, Public Key Infrastructure, biometrics,
          data-warehousing and mining, surveillance and privacy.

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". The distribution is public
          for this echo. Currently looking for a new moderator for
          this echo!

     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 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.

FLAME               
     International 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. Legal Notice; This echo TAG and contents
          are copyright by oy Witt.  See echo rules for more information.

           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

          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 - HEATED                                         
           "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. "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-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside
          the golden door!"  Contact Gateway sysop regarding Internet
          feeds.  Moderator permission required for gating to other
          networks, and echomail policies do not apply here.

IC                  
     International Coordinator Contact Conference                          
           This conference serves as a direct path to address the
          IC, currently Ward Dossche at 2:292/854, and is a forum
          for issues that involve the IC, such as IC announcements,
          policy interpretation and/or review, nodelist flags and
          their usage, etc.  Keep your posts clean and to the point;
          flames and personal attacks are not permitted.  "Do unto
          others as you would have them do unto you, and this means
          you, too." Note:  This conference is retained by the sitting
          IC, while the moderator is appointed by the IC.  In the
          event of an IC change, the moderatorship reverts back to
          the IC, who will then appoint a moderator.  The IC is disqualified
          from overruling the moderator within the framework of this
          conference, although the IC may not be removed from the
          echo. Conference may not be gated without permission.

     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.

           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, theory, ethics, and mechanics
          of what is often called "MAGICK" (as used by the Pagan/Wiccan/Shamanic
          communities). The definition is...discussion. Skepticism,
          advice, and questions are welcome. Proseletyzing is NOT
          allowed. This is NOT a Pagan or any other religion area.
          If you wish to debate/pontificate/or talk about religion,
          take it to either NETMAIL, E-MAIL, or to a religious debate
          echo. The founder of the echo uses and reserves the handle
          of "Satan", and is hereby declared Moderator Emeritus. Off-topic
          and friendly chatter is directed to our sister echo, Occult

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!

METALSMITH          
     Discussion of all forms of metalworking                               
           An echo dedicated to the tradesman and hobbyist in metals;
          blacksmiths, machinists, welders, goldsmiths, silversmiths,
          tinsmiths, founders, casters and any associated professions.
          If you work or play with metal, this is for you! This is
          a friendly place; the only flames allowed are at the end
          of a torch, under a foundry furnace or in a forge.  Enter
          in the frame of mind that your workbench is clean, your
          day is done and you are joining in the conversation with
          the rest of us while we wait for the time clock to show
          the "magic minute."  Join us and share your experiences
          in some of the little-known crafts. ECROC and Echopol1 do
          not apply to this echo or its contents.

MOD_COUNCIL         
     Discussions concerning Echomail Distribution and a Mode               
           MOD_COUNCIL can be used by moderators, routers and others
          for discussions concerning issues associated with the ECHOLIST
          and Distribution.  One goal of the echo will be toinvestigate
          and possibly develop a Moderator's Council to address issues
          that are moderator specific. Moderators, Sysops, and those
          involved in the distribution of echomail are welcome as
          participants.

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.

          found, a message is posted in the echo. If interested in

     New Religious Movements                                               
           For academic discussion of new religious movements. The
          discussion may be from the point of view of one discipline,
          or it may be interdisciplinary. This was gated from the
          new religious movements mailing list, but the gating is
          broken at the moment. Discussion is still welcome, however,
          and some messages are crossposted

OCCULT_CHAT

           This is an echo for chatter related to, conversations about,
          or relating to, the Occult, and/or Paganism in general.
          Discussions concerning the religious aspects of Magick (as
          used by Wiccans, Pagans, Shamen, etc.) will be regarded
          as being ON TOPIC.  For the general applications of Magick
          (as used by Wiccans, etc.), please visit our sister echo,
          MAGICK. Bible Thumping, Proseletizing, etc. are STRICTLY
          FORBIDDEN, as we are here to learn & share. While the PRIMARY
          focus of this echo is geared toward Pagan/Occult discussions,
          we invite ALL FAITHS to join the conversation(s), and share.
           All we ask is that it be done politely.

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.

          about "best" compilers, books, techniques, etc. are welcomed,
          while they remain on topic.  However, "bashing" of related
          issues (vendors, users, processes, etc.) is not.  We are,
          first and foremost, trying to be helpful - things which
          invade this "atmosphere" are undesirable and may result
          in Moderator action. Please maintain your opinions within

PHYSICS             
     Physics Fidonet Conference                                            
           The Physics Fidonet Conference is devoted primarily to
          the discussion of physics itself, physics teaching, and
          physics-related issues that affect public policy and the
          environment.  Our goal is to furnish a forum where those
          with a casual interest in physics can have their questions
          answered, and those with a professional interest can share
          their expertise and curiosity with others. Knowledge of
          physics, and how it relates to the world around us, is becoming
          central to participation in our increasingly technical society.
          Our purpose here is to be part of a forum that can help
          to improve and refine that knowledge.  Everyone is welcome
          to participate in this conference: students, teachers, scientists,
          and anyone else with an interest in the areas we cover.

     Politically Incorrect                                                 
           Tired of the same old 2 party system? If so, you are welcome
          here along with all the other political parties, including

POLY-TICKS          
     "I've got big balls, she's got big balls"                             
           Is your echo infested by loose cannons who feel that their
          personal vitriol is paramount to everything?  You ask them
          to take it elsewhere, and they ignore you and resume their
          fighting, making the occasional hilarious threats of a civil
          lawsuit (or a P4, lions and tigers and bears, oh, my!) when
          they figure out that they really just can't get their way
          all the time.  This echo serves as a dumping ground for
          those who don't understand terms like "FLAME or MATZDOBRE
          echos," "e-mail," or "netmail."  Loose cannons can participate
          here, or they can be talked about here.  Note that certain
          loose cannons will be granted "Honorary Moderator" status
          through coordinated echo votes, because the echolisted moderator
          says so!

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!

SEABORN             
     Born at Sea, Naval research!                                          
           It turns out that the term "son of a gun" is actually a
          far worse insult than "son of a bitch."  A son of a bitch
          at least knows who his mother was.  A son of a gun was an
          infant found nestled in the coils of ropes under the cannons
          on a Naval vessel. The "ladies" of the port would be smuggled
          on board the ship, and could be kept hidden for weeks or
          months, often giving birth on board the ship.  When the
          officers discovered the child, it would be turned over to
          the Naval orphanage with the notation in the log of "found
          under a gun." And that is the most probable source of the
          surname Seaborn.

     The Simpsons Discussion Echo                                          
           Are you into Matt Groenig's humor?  If so, then this is
          the place to discuss it.  After all, it's more than just
          a single cartoon show.  There is a lot that you could be
          missing if you don't join in. Talk about the shows that
          you now like and have found out that that drives your kids
          up the wall!  And, have your kids join in, too.  You may
          find you have a lot more in common that you will admit...

STOCK_MARKET        
     Stock and Other Investments Discussions.                              
           The purpose of this echo is to enable global investors
          to communicate with each other about investing in securities
          trading on any Stock Exchange, hence the echo name Stock
          Market. Discussion of all financial investments, including
          stocks, mutual funds, futures, and options are the primary
          focus. Multi-level marketing, pyramid offers, chain letters,
          advertisements and solicitations of investors are off topic.

SYSOPS_CORNER       
     SysOps Corner is a SysOps Only Echo!                                  
           SysOps Corner is a place for SysOps to get away from the
          other SysOps echos where it seems people are fussing about
          policy and other NON-HOBBY things. :)  SysOps Corner is
          going to be a place where SysOps can lay back and just chat
          about the weather or the latest Online game or anything
          EXCEPT POLICY and all those other nasty words that are DESTROYING

     Telix Users Information Exchange                                      
           This echo is for use by those who use or are interested
          in using the Telix Communications program produced by deltaCom
          Development.  The echo is carried internationally and users
          of the echo are scattered throughout the world.  As such,
          and since international calling is so expensive, off-topic
          message restrictions are strictly enforced.  Members of
          the conference include many individuals who are very experienced
          in the use of Telix, including those who have written a
          variety of Telix related utilities.  Script files are regularly
          entered and passed via the echo.  New members and novice
          users are welcome and encouraged to share their experiences
          and opinions. E-Mail me at benc@dmci.net

THEIST_WATCH        
     Freethinker Watch on Religious Shenanigans                            
           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,
          which was originally started by the late Madalyn Murray
          O'Hair.  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 21st century continues and this forum will
          pay close attention to what theists do during the current
          "silly season."  Those who wish to engage in debate over
          these or 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-

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.

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.

WILDCAT4            
     Discussion of Wildcat DOS versions up to version 4 by W               
           This is a new Wildcat echo for those Wildcat Sysops or
          Potential Sysops who do not wish to upgrade/discuss Wildcat
          version 5 for Windows95/NT in the current Wildcat echo as
          that subject will be off topic in this echo. All operating
          systems can be discussed as long as it pertains to Wildcat
          BBS DOS software. Discussion of other BBS software will
          be off topic. This echo will serve as a retreat from other
          Wildcat echos that are congested with Wildcat5 problems
          and commercial advertisements.

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.)
