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

AM_BARTER           
     Barter and Counter-Trade                                              
           Barter (Trade) is one of the fastest growing areas in the
          economy.  Folks who barter can take excess time, services
          and products and convert them into an alternative currency

          "stuff" (old  collectible items). It's not generally for
          'not-so-old' computer hardware you've got packed away, but
          really old computers may be discussed (Classic Computers,
          etc.). People who have antiques to sell or who would like
          to buy are encouraged to post,  such as those looking for
          the existence of a particular item from early manufacturers,
          or just identifying antiques like types of furniture, etc.

          photos will be maintained at http://www.filegate.net/antiques/

           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.
           Also on-topic are adaptations in other media (books, movies,
          TV, etc) of comic book characters, other works by famous
          creators, and issues such as creator rights. 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 moderators.

     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              
     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. All moderating
          should be left to the moderators.  Participants should not
          be easily annoyed.

          discussion, but Doom is the main focus of the echo. Rules

     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. Topics
          include, but are not limited to, the introduction of Noahide
          Laws and Courts, e-Government, e-Health, e-Commerce, Public
          Key Infrastructure, biometrics, data-warehousing and mining,
          "Homeland Security", surveillance and privacy.

           English Tutoring for Students of the English Language.
          This echo should be of interest to those who wish to improve
          their command of English, and to those who wish to act as
          their tutors. Participants may submit short texts for critique
          and discussion by literate English speakers in English-speaking
          countries. Discussions of points of grammar, usage, standard
          English and regionalisms are welcome. Chatting is allowed,
          provided the texts are viewed as language practice subject
          to comments by the tutors and other students.

     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....

FEED_CUT            
     Designed to inform users, sysops and *EC's of echo feed               
           This echo allows moderators and sysops to post the names
          and discuss the actions of users/systems who have had their
          feed cut from an echo. The moderator of FEED_CUT is not
          responsible for the accuracy of the posts by the participants.
          Participants may also include *EC's that may be involved
          in a feed cut. This echo is gated into an internet mailling
          list.  Participants who desire the mailling list version
          MUST send email to thom@fablotz.min.net for permission to
          join the list.

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.

           Fidonet's Sysop Echo.  Long a home of multiple topics,
          the echo now is simply another place for bad mannered posts,
          personal attacks and cultural clashes.  This listing has
          been submitted in the spirit of notification of the vast
          wasteland attributes that has recently affected Fidonet.
          Participants who enjoy tilting at windmills, mis-quoting
          others, fanning flames and contributing to disharmony in
          discussions will enjoy participation in this echo. Since
          there is no moderation in the echo at all, and the previously
          listed moderator allowed the listing to drop, this entry
          is made as a service to the Fidonet community.

           "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 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!"

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, 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 and moderator emeritus, Heavy
          Metal, uses and reserves the handle of "Satan". Off-topic
          and friendly chatter is directed to our sister echo, Occult
          Chatter (OCCULT_CHAT).

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.

           Namefix works like filefind, but for users. A message is
          entered in the conference to "NAMEFIX" and all systems that
          run a namefix utility search their userlogs. If a user is
          found, a message is posted in the echo. If interested in
          seeing this on the Fidonet backbone or any other networks,
          please request through normal channels (1:124/5009 gates
          through 10/345. I would like to see this become an InterNetwork
          vehicle for finding people.

OCCULT_CHAT         
     Discussions About The Occult, and Paganism                            
           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, Shaman, 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 and SHARE. While the
          PRIMARY focus of this echo is geared towards Pagan/Occult
          discussions, we invite ALL faiths to join the conversation(s),
          and share.  All we ask is that it be done politely. Any
          Moderator of any of the occult or philosophy style echoes
          offered by any network are invited to make use of this resource.

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.

PASCAL_LESSONS      
     Pascal Programming Lessons                                            
           The purpose of this echo is to discuss Pascal, programming,
          and topics related to learning both subjects. Discussions
          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
          the context of the echo

QUIK_BAS            
     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.

     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... <G>

          of Texana and the area in general south of San Antonio to
          Mexico. The rules are simple:  Play nice, Don't fight, ENJOY!

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.

Z1_ELECTION         
     Fidonet Zone 1 Current Election Topics                                
           The PRIMARY purpose of this echo is to provide a centralized
          forum for the discussion of Zone level elections in Fidonet
          Zone 1.  This included Fidonet-wide elections that affect
          Zone 1 directly, Zone 1 elections for Zone level candidates
          or policies affecting Zone 1. Political campaigns, as long
          as they follow the rules of this echo, are allowed and encouraged.
           Civil discussions of matters of concern to Fidonet presented
          to Fidonet Zone 1 for a vote are encouraged.  Discussion
          of general matters of concern to Fidonet are permitted when
          a Zone level election is not in progress. Check your flame-throwers
          at the door. During a Zone-wide Zone 1 election, the Moderator
          Pro Tem for this echo will be appointed by the Zone 1 RCC.
