     Net 374 Nitpicking Sysop Echo for Nitpicking Sysops
          A non-Backbone Echo distributed via past or present members for
          the purpose of microdebating non-important non-issues by
          self-appointed local 'sealawyer-type' Sysops of Net 374 most of
          whom have recently migrated into Net 374 from military bases or
          other Nets where their foolishness went unchallenged. This Echo
          serves to relieve the crap level from the real local Sysop Echo
          [374SYSOP] where nitpickers previously plied their
          dissatisfaction with FidoNet and Net 374 ops. It is modeled on on
          a previous and similarly designed local Echo called R18COORD
          which was a circular flame Echo for dissatisfied Net Coordinators
          in Region 18 to bitch and moan about standard FidoNet ops they
          didn't agree with.

     News of the US and World
          Current events and interesting news items from today's news from
          an alternative, left perspective.  Many of these news items are
          overlooked in the "normal" mass-media and contain news from a
          different point of view. Features both national international
          news stories with an emphasis on social, labor, environmental and
          other issues.  Not meant to be a so-called objective news echo,
          but instead focuses on alternative news.  No restrictions but
          Sysops could make the echo read-only if they prefer.  This echo
          is not meant for conversation, instead trying to be purely news
          and information. ANEWS is distributed on the Zone 1 echomail
          backbone.

     Animal Rights Conference
          A conference designed to discuss the pros and cons of various
          animal rights issues. Every aspect of animal rights is open to
          discussion, providing personal attacks and flames are avoided.
          This conference covers a topic which is very emotional in nature
          at times, but those participating are encouraged to avoid being
          entrapped by the emotions of the issue and to allow those with
          opposing viewpoints to state them. The hope is that through
          reasonable and rational discussion, the plight of animals in
          modern society may be positively advanced.  There is a rule file
          called "ANIM_RTS.RUL" which is posted weekly and should be
          available in the Echolist Rules File.  WARNING: This echo allows
          those who are against the concept of animal rights to voice their
          opinions, and they are not shy about doing so.  If you are an
          animal rights sympathizer and have never had your opinions
          challenged, you may be disturbed by some of the discussions.

     ANTI-RUSH
          An echo dedicated to bashing Rush Limbaugh and his brainwashed
          army of lunatics (commonly called 'dittoheads').  Other topics
          that are welcome are 101 ways to humiliate dittoheads in public,
          Howard Stern, envrionmentalism, paganism and 101 ways to prove
          that Don Teague is satan.  Debunking is ill-advised, as
          dittoheads are highly unstable and may explode into mass-murders
          without reason.  A maximum of 6 dittoheads are alowed in the
          conference at a time, unless there are more than 66 anti-limbaugh
          thinkers. All hail Bob!

          Operates as an independent forum for free thought and with the
          understanding that the Constitutional separation of State and
          church is not only desirable but absolutely mandated by the U.S.
          Constitution and works toward that end with education and source
          information. It is not a 'bashing' Echo but it does operate under
          the opinion that organized religion must be thwarted in their
          attempt to undermine the government of these United States of
          America by continuously striving to inject its dogma and doctrine
          into the U.S. and State and Local governments. Copies of past

          messages about the features they like best on Your BBS - Unique
          features others may be looking for in a BBS..... These messages

          keep new users. ANSI & GRAPHICS are allowed but no special
          formatting codes used as substitutes for ESC.  If ANSI or
          GRAPHICS cause problems on your BBS use a Program like KillRdog
          to eliminate them before tossing. Please limit Advertising your
          BBS, to (2) messages per week. Please be considerate of the
          Sysops paying LD bills. If OFFENDED, by the content of a message
          send NETMAIL to the user or sysop.  And, refuse to respond

          behavior, trip tales, evaluating gear and guide books, local
          groups and things to do, software for tracking bird sightings,
          attracting birds to your feeders and gardens, and the related
          ecology and biology of these lovely animals. Netmail the

     Bitching About Issues and Current Events Conference
          BITCH is an aggressive issues/current-events conference.  Strong
          opinions that would be unwelcome in other conferences are invited
          here.  The result is generally chaos, but occasional gems can be
          found.  Get off your chest exactly how you feel while making a
          fool DECS out of yourself and others.  Not for those looking for
          "nice talk" conferences: you will be challanged and you will
          probably be angered.  Consider the conference as an electronic
          catharsis, and far cheaper than professional psychotherapy.  :)
          Disruptive behavior is grounds for immediate dismissal from
          access.  Behavior such as propagation of hate, multiple repeats
          of a message, use of obcenities DESC without contributing to
          conversation and entering messages that do not promote
          point/counter-point conversation will not be tolerated.

     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!

     Class Warfare
          An echo dedicated to discussion of modern 'class' issues in
          America. Though traditional rhetoric describes our society as a
          'melting pot' most people are honest enough to admit that real
          class issues exist. Those issues range from the young versus old,
          workers versus welfare recipients, workers versus capitalists,
          and in many other forms and areas.  This echo is dedicated
          towards discussing issues related to class and towards
          illuminating people to look at modern issues of class and status
          when evaluating events.

     Clipper database & programming language echo.
          The CLIPPER language, and all software development tools,
          libraries, and environments that apply to CLIPPER programming.
          CA-Visual Objects (VO), the new windows based language that is
          Computer Associates newest entry into the Windows X-Base language
          market is now considered on topic in the CLIPPER echo. C and ASM
          programming insofar as it deals directly with interfacing and use
          with CLIPPER and VO is encouraged. Although as professionals in
          the database arena, we may occasionally resort to comparisons
          with other languages, language wars are always off topic, and
          will not be tolerated.

     Comics 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 like
          creator rights are discussed as well. However, NO public buying,
          selling, or trading of books is permitted except in situations
          approved by the moderator.

     International Consulting Forum
          CONSULTING EchoMail conference is an international forum for
          management and technology consultants with a variety of
          specialties.  It is _not_ a general "help" echo. Some of the
          topics which are appropriate in this forum are: operation of a
          consulting practice, finding clients, getting contracts and
          getting paid, networking with other consultants, setting fees,
          starting a new practice and ethical issues pertaining to
          consulting.  Technical questions may be more properly directed to
          echos where they will be considered "on-topic".

     Dana
          Dana is a Pali word that encapsulates one of the fruits of
          meditation practices. It translates as generous action of the
          heart without attachment, aversion or delusion. The Dana
          Conference is an open forum for discussions focusing upon a
          deepening understanding of dana, discussions exploring the
          evolution of dana in the West, and posting opportunities for the
          cultivation of selfless service. (Began 12/93)

     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.

     EchoList Access Conference
          The International EchoList is an open repository of information
          about electronic mail conferences, as defined and submitted by
          the moderators of those conferences. The ECHOLIST conference
          provides access to The International EchoList and it's publisher.
          It is primarily meant as a convenient method for people to see
          announcements of new and updated EchoList entries as they are
          posted rather than waiting for the monthly publication and
          distribution of the report files. The ECHOLIST conference
          supports submitting ECHO QUERY messages, which produce as a reply
          a report of the contents of the EchoList database. This
          conference also provides access to the author and publisher for
          questions and discussion of the database and the update process.
          The ECHOLIST conference is NOT for discussion of the flow or
          administration of EchoMail (refer to the ZEC conference for your
          Zone), it is NOT for discussion of the internal operation of
          EchoMail conferencing (refer to the MODERATOR conference), and it
          is NOT for the discussion of finding and establishing EchoMail
          links (refer to the ECHO_REQ conference). It is strictly a
          conferenced method for access to the EchoList.

          people interested in electricity can discuss issues such as the
          JIC and NEC codes.  The echo should provide a dovetail to the
          Electronics echo that is currently carried on FIDO. Rick Morlock

          industrial electrician and I.B.E.W. rating as an indoor

     Episcopal Echo
          This is a group for Episcopalians and others to discuss life, the
          meaning of the universe, and everything.  Patterned after a
          campus Canterbury Club with a Sunday evening dinner tradition.
          Participants could be quasi-erudite, might show a respectful
          sense of humor, and demonstrate the humility of being less than
          98% omniscient. The echo is open to all people, regardless of
          their religion, or the number of times they have been born.  For
          those for whom reason and traditions often count as much as faith
          alone:  "There's a difference between being baptised and
          brainwashed".  A post-sophomoric Canterbury Club for all ages.
          Mostly for a US mainstream and traditional core of demographics
          and theology as spawned the US Declaration of Independence, and
          other such revolutionary things..  The 2000 year old trinity of
          the KJV is quite welcome, as are humor, burlesque, and parody -
          similar to the Jewish tradition of Purim.  Has no teaching or
          conversion agenda: just good humor, good will, and maybe some
          random good works by serendipity and simply being considerate of
          others.  A non-prophet group with a comfortable identity that can
          respect the beliefs of others. Collects and keeps a library of
          humor as well as addenda to the book, "These Also Believe".
          Certificates "of sufficient omniscience" awarded on a for-prophet
          basis to duly authorize pontificators to post outside this
          forum...the ONLY source of such certifications!  Send a simple

          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.

     General Aviation
          The GENERAL_AVIATION echo is dedicated to non-professionals and
          those who fly as a hobby. It is open to everyone who flies, owns,
          maintains, sells or is interested in flying airplanes for the fun
          of it. We represent the "little guy" - the pilot who has to skimp
          and save for a month to afford an hour in a Cherokee or 172, the
          independent flight instructor, the student pilot, the aerobatic
          enthusiast, the homebuilder, the sailplane pilot - anyone who
          flies for the love of it. If you love flying, and enjoy talking
          about it with other aviators and kindred spirits, this is the
          place for you! Keep 'em flying, and Happy Landings!

          This conference is for the discussion of gun and other defensive
          weaponry and their uses in todays modern society. Not meant to be
          a replacement to the many other firearm related echomail areas,
          but rather to enhance them.  Moderatorship will be the big
          difference. Also see: RELOAD - new echo devoted to reloaders

          religion is best or worst and why, is welcome here so long as it
          doesn't become an endless loop and the antagonists are cordial.

          all rights reserved worldwide. Exploring the Christian Holy Bible
          (serious Bible study only). With so many "religions" and "three
          god cults" blatantly teaching opposing doctrines while "claiming"
          to be representing "The Bible", many are wisely deciding to look
          for themselves. No profanity, lewdness, etc will be tolerated.
          Deliberate off-topic messages and rule violations will not be
          tolerated.  Vandals may find their personal info published in the
          echo (including phone and address). This is an internationally
          distributed Bible echo. Doctrines will face "the Bible test" in
          an open forum. This should not be confused with the pseudo
          christian, three god cult echos or any other cults or
          "denominations" of the RCC. This echo is extremely strict because
          of the cost of international distribution.  All points MUST be
          documented by scripture! This is NOT a "chat" or "fellowship"
          conference!. This really is the only true Christian Echo on the
          Fidonet Backbone. If you are interested in what the Bible really
          teaches, check out HOLY_BIBLE (the Wholly Bible echo) for
          yourself and see what the false christians are hissing and
          roaring about. Beware of sleazy imitations and thieves that stole
          their echoname from this echo's description. This echo is gated

     Home Education and Related Discussions.
          Many people are electing to educate their children at home rather
          than sending them to government institutions. Many homeschool for
          diverse reasons.  It is a political movement rather than
          religious. I, though being an Apostolic Pentecostal (just basic
          true Biblical Christianity) preacher, do believe that
          homeschooling needs to be regarded as a political rather than a
          religious issue. HOWEVER, even as a political movement, basic
          foundational principles of decency and morality must not be
          disguarded. If your interest in Home Schooling is in any way
          related to the principles of morality and decency that the USA
          was founded upon, you may wish to consider the HOME_SCHOOLING
          echo. This echo is not yet on the backbone and would cost you a
          few cents a week to pick up from 1:18/98.

     International Humanities Echo
          A general conference to foster the interdisciplinary discussions
          between the various humanities.  While the Fido world is awash
          with the technical echos, there are very few echoes which serve
          those who might have, accidentally or intentionally, taken a
          *serious* interest in the humanities.  Those echoes which do
          exist, HISTORY, HISTORIA, PHILosophy, etc. are isolated from one
          another, barring the sort of cross-curricular discussion which is
          for the old liberal arts.  The HUMANITIES echo seeks to address
          this isolation and provide a forum for enlightened discussion.
          All participants are welcome, though pseudonyms are not permitted
          in this echo.

     G-Rated HUMOR only, all discussions are off topic.
          This echo is an "ELECTRONIC  JOKEBOOK" we don't see any
          discussions in a jokebook, they dont belong here.  Please do not
          respond to any messages except with HUMOR.  As discussion is off
          topic, the sysops voted to ban quoting as it is UN-NECESSARY.
          Definition:  That quality in speech, writing or action which
          tends to excite laughter, the capacity for perceiving the amusing
          or ludicrous; anything as speech, writing, or action, intended to
          be comical. Only messages containing AMUSING Trivia, Jokes,
          Limericks, Poems, Puns, Quotes, and G-rated humorous experiences
          are on topic.  The HUMOR should be obvious, if it's not it
          obviously belongs in another conference. * This is a G-Rated
          conference, Adult-Topics-are-NOT-allowed. * * Racist or
          "OFFENSIVE" and Sexual language result in a temporary loss of
          links without further warning, until the sysop eliminates the
          problem. Restoration will only be discussed in Netmail. Allowing
          WRITE ACCESS, is considered an agreement to remove anyone who
          violates the rules, when requested by any of the Moderators.. If
          OFFENDED, by the content of a message send NETMAIL to the user or
          sysop.  And, refuse to respond offensive messages IN THE ECHO. If
          Criticism doesn't fit in this oval ...o... send it to >NUL  ;-)
          For a current copy of the rules, FREQ HUMOR from 1:10/227 .

     Iron Ox and other Doorgames by Joel W. Downer
          The IRONOX echo is for the discussion of Iron Ox, a multiplayer
          strategy doorgame in the tradition of 2002, Global Wars, BRE, and
          the 1980's Electronic Arts game, M.U.L.E..  Talk about strategy,
          game features, future development, beta development, and
          third-party development are all welcome.  Comparisons to other
          doors and (constructive) criticism of the door are also welcome,
          so long as expressed politely.

     Employment and Job Conference
          The JOBS echo is for discussion of employment related issues.
          This can include practically anything that is job related.
          Almost anything that is about your current job or getting a job
          is acceptable.  It is also appropriate to post a resume or job
          offerings.  Discussion that is not job related, or job related
          discussions that get off topic (such as religion, politics,
          personal life styles, drugs, human rights, etc.) are not
          appropriate in this echo. It is recommended that nodes receiving
          this echo also get the sister echo JOBS-NOW, which lists job
          offerings only. Moderator permission required before gating to

          JOBS-NOW if for the posting of job offerings by individuals or

          recruiters, however, should be sensitive to the feelings of net

          a discussion group or a group for posting resumes.  It is
          acceptable to repost offerings from other areas or to post
          offerings "second hand" if they are credited, verifiable and

          schemes, and any "job" that requires an up-front investment are
          not allowed. JOBS-NOW has strict and detailed conference rules,
          which should be read before posting any messages.  NO MESSAGES
          OTHER THAN JOB OFFERINGS ARE ALLOWED IN THE JOBS-NOW ECHO. PLEASE
          READ CONFERENCE RULES BEFORE POSTING ANY MESSAGES. Moderator

          **restricted to K12net sysops only**. Not available singly.
          <<GENERAL INFO>> K12net is privately distributed to HUNDREDS of
          school-based/oriented BBS's within FIDOnet zones 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
          and 6 as well as in USEnet and other networks. There are NO fees!
          It is specifically oriented to curricular/classroom use for
          introducing Kindergarten thru 12th grade students, teachers and
          administrators to the "global village" of telecommuni- cations.
          K12net is a public "network with training wheels" and should not
          be thought of as a "hobby" network--this is "school". To prevent
          fragmentation of this community, K12net echoes are NOT available
          singly--sysops must take all or none. Traffic in 3/92 generally
          ran 300-350 messages per day for the entire network.  K12net
          (sm)(tm) is the mark of Jack Crawford. For more information file

     Kate Bush Appreciation
          Kate Bush is a musician/singer who is quite popular in Europe,
          but has really never had much of a folowing in the United States.
          She does have devoted fans, though, and many of us meet through
          the KATEBUSH echo.  Conversation is not completely limited to
          KaTe, though; we tolerate discussion of artists who do or could
          influence her work. Also, digests from usenet's Kate Bush
          conference, rec.music.gaffa, are posted.  The moderator will PAY
          for distribution within Zone 1, and can arrange for gateways into
          Zones 2 (UK or Sweden), 3 (Oz) and 6 (Hong Kong).

     International KIDS Conference
          The KIDS Echo Conference was established to allow young people up
          to the age of 18 to have freedom of information interchange in an
          environment that is directed primarily toward an adult audience.
          Allowing our children to have an area of thier own is necessary
          to give our kids the opportunity to expand their capabilities in
          the age of electronics and home computing. Our children are our
          most valued resources in the persuit of a future for a nation
          with strong goals in computers. Our future belongs to them. They
          are our destiny. The KIDS Echo Conference was designed with them
          in mind. Therefore, each adult should encourage its use and give
          it direction. Direction without interferance except to insure
          that the echo is wholesome and that it grows with common decency
          as viewed by the public as a whole. Additionally, the KidsNews
          newsletter can be a viable medium for students, teachers, parents
          and school organizations to express ideas and activities.
          KidsNews is the official newsletter of the KIDS echo conference.
          It is there for YOUR use.

          babies weren't really alive, there would be no need to kill them.

     LAW_LINK: Law-Related Bulletin Boards Echo
          An echo devoted to the discussion by and between the sysops and
          users of law-oriented bulletin board systems, and other systems
          wishing to provide their users with legal materials and to
          support law-related interests.  The LAW_LINK echo serves as an
          informal association of legal bbses and other interested systems.
          Issues include the access to and distribution of legal materials,
          public documents, and other useful sources of information that
          may (or should) be publically available.  The LAW-LINK echo
          originates from the Law-Link(tm) BBS, in Philadelphia, and is
          moderated by its sysop, an attorney in practice in PA and NJ.
          The LAW_LINK echo is currently privately distributed (and within
          Net 273), but may soon be on the Zone 1 Backbone.  Your interest
          and support will get it there quicker.  Send all requests to
          receive this echo directly to 1:273/925, addressed to the sysop.
          You will be set up to poll for the echo within 24 hours of your
          request.

          that fits this bill is fit for the Law_Tech conference. Any and
          all technology that affects the practice of law or our legal
          system is up for discussion, as are the legal implications and
          consequences of developing technology.  Only discussions that go
          really far afield of these goals will be set straight by the
          moderator. The Law & Technology echo is a professionally-
          oriented discussion conference, and participants are expected to
          conduct themselves with this in mind. Suggestions for the
          continued development and improvement of LAW_TECH are always
          welcome, and may be submitted to the moderator via the
          conference.

          moderator's opinion is the final word on the topic. Those who
          disagree with the opinion of the moderator may be banished
          immediately, permanently, and without warning. Systems who allow

          want that type of person here.

     Muse Studio (Poetry Discussion)
          This NEW Fido conference is designed as an international forum to
          encourage poets to master the craft by posting poetry both old
          and new, exploring techniques, and informing on poetry news and
          conferences. Of most importance will be discussions on a wide
          range of subjects, the purpose of which will be to generate and
          develop poetry through an exchange of ideas. This is not just a
          beginner's workshop, but a virtual spot for increasing mastery in
          the field through discussion, feature articles, and reviews.
          However, ALL are invited, and critiques may be requested.
          Performance poetry on tape, both audio and video, and hypertext
          poetry are just a few of the fields to be explored among the
          participants of this conference. News of contests, markets,
          books, poets, and media presentations will also be a part of the
          service.

          your favorite nude beaches, resorts, clubs? NATURISM is *not*
          intended for sexual discussions. (Began 3/94)

          a network exists for Star Trek fans?  Or Macintosh sysops?  How
          about a network for those of the Christian faith? Have you heard

POETRY_WORKSHOP                                                        PTRWRKHP
     The Poetry Workshop
          We welcome everyone to 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 discussions of
          contemporary and past poets. 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 conference always welcomes new writers, published or not.
          Drop by, share some poetry, or just take a look!

     Study the false christian trinity cults
          This echo will be based mainly on the topic of the "mystery"
          trinity that most of the false christian "denominations" share as
          their three seperate person deities. We will study the history
          and origins of the Babylonian tritheism that evolved into the
          modern trinity cults, and we will study the history of "mama
          trinity" (the RCC) as she murdered multitudes of real Christians
          as "heretics". We also deal with cults like Mormon and JW etc.
          Our hope and purpose is to help any willing to be helped to
          escape the trinity cults that are conning billions of people.

     Progressive News & Views
          PNEWS has the distinction of being a conference which is
          simultaneously and automatically gated between three networks:
          PeaceNet, FidoNet and InterNet and there are a total of 5
          conferences. They are international conferences with participants
          in Europe, the Pacific, Asia, South and North America. PNEWS
          CONFERENCES are based on the proposition that all men and women
          are entitled to certain basic rights, to-wit: good and affordable
          health care, food, shelter, liveable wages, equal rights and
          opportunities and the conferences will examine those issues that
          cause despair and alienation. The primary emphasis for the
          conferences is the presentation of progressive news, views, and
          occasionally some poetry. "Progressive," meaning that which tends
          to improve society, the advancement of knowledge and visions for
          a better future. These are read and write conferences. Discussion
          is encouraged. Articles are also posted regularly from other
          PNEWS conferences on PeaceNet and InterNet.

          This conference is for the discussion of gun and other defensive
          weaponry and their uses in todays modern society. Not meant to be
          a replacement to the many other firearm related echomail areas,
          but rather to enhance them.  Moderatorship will be the big
          difference. Also see: GUNS - new echo for firearm owners. This
          echo is dedicated to rreloaders, hints, tips, equipment reviews,
          info on sales, and trading of reloading equipment. Contact Elmer
          Cooper at 231/30 for a feed until we're on the backbone.

     Skeptical Inquiry Echo
          The skeptical and critical examination of paranormal claims such
          as psychic powers, UFOs, astrology, Bigfoot, biorhythms,
          crystals, satanic cults, fire walking, tarot cards -- et al --
          will be examined and discussed in an intellectual environment.
          Book reviews on fringe-science or paranormal topics will be
          requested and an over all discussion of all such books will be
          entertained.  Biographies of modern-day as well as historic cult
          leaders will be reviewed. Along the same lines, if any
          participating individual finds an amusing advertisement making
          unusually outrageous claims, that, too, will be examined.
          Non-testable claims of faith or religion are not welcome.

     Space Development Conference
          This conference is for those interested in settling, exploring,
          and developing the final frontier.  Acceptable topics include
          space and its related sciences and technologies, plus relative
          political and industrial issues.  We are interested in the space
          development environment of the present and the near future, not
          scenarios so far into the future as to fall under science
          fiction. Space is BIG, but the focus of this conference is tight.
          While some chit-chat on physics, astrophysics, and astronomy is
          acceptable, discussions on HAM communications, extraterrestrials,
          UFOs, paranormal phenomena, future mutant humans are not.  The
          Space Development Conference is for activists and settlers, and
          most certainly for humans only.  It focuses on news and issues of
          current space development activity.  SPACE is a stand-alone
          conference and has no association with any organization or other
          conference or any file distribution system.

          baseball, basketball, football and hockey.  But discussions
          concerning all sports are permitted.  Discussions regarding
          Professional Wrestling should be directed to WRESTLING rather
          than this echo.  Discussions about sports products, such as
          baseball cards, are discouraged.

     seaQuest DSV General Discussion
          SQDSV is specifically for NBC's seaQuest DSV television series.
          We discuss its characters, its episodes, the science behind the
          show, its books, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute(where it
          pertains to seaQuest), and other related materials.  Distribution
          through other networks is encouraged and currently in practice.
          We've just found that seaQuest is signed up for a second season
          and SQDSV will soon be on the FidoNet backbone as we continue to
          get more support from you.

          A conference, similar to STTNG, just for discussion of the
          televison series, "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine". Since it is
          closely related to ST:TNG (with cross-characterizations) there
          will be _limited_ discussion of ST:TNG allowed on the echo, but
          only as it pertains to the new series. Discussion of, or
          comparison with, the "original" series (TOS), or with any other
          Science Fiction series ("Babylon 5"), is frowned upon, and will
          not be tolerated. But the technology of the era (Runabouts, the
          wormhole) will be fair game for discussion. Participation is open
          to the public. This echo is now on the FidoNet Z1 BackBone.

     Swedenborgian Ideas
          This echo is a forum for discussing the spiritual and
          philosophical ideas of the new Christianity as envisioned by
          Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772). Swedenborg was a scientist and
          philosopher who later turned his mind toward religion. By his
          account, he spent the last thirty years of his life conscious in
          the spiritual world and the material world at the same time. He
          believed the Lord had called him to reveal new ideas that would
          revitalize Christianity.

     International Teenagers' Echo
          This echo is by teenagers for teenagers.  It is one of the most
          active conferences in FidoNet.  Its purpose is for general chat,
          discussion of controversial issues related to teens, and any
          other teen related problem or situation. There are an unusually
          great number of quite vocal participants, and any teen user is
          likely to find someone with similar interests.  Discussions range
          from deadly serious to useless and everything in between.  A
          reasonable degree of freedom is given as to what can and cannot
          be said (unlike in school), but the rules that do exist ARE
          enforced.  Handles are VERY strongly discouraged on this echo.
          ALL systems with teenagers are welcome in the echo. (We accept
          users from age 13 to age 25)

          This echo is for use by those who use or are interested in using
          the TELIX communications program produced by deltaComm
          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. Several systems carrying the echo serve as
          repositories for the scripts which are transmitted via the echo.
          New members and novice users are welcome and encouraged to share
          their experiences and opinions.

     Tott Echo [See Elist]
          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. Sysops wishing to
          carry the TOTT echo agree to the following guidelines: Configure
          your system to require handles on the TOTT echo. Profanity,
          racial remarks, or name-calling are not permitted. Criticism or
          putdowns of others' efforts (spelling, grammar, opinions) are not
          acceptable. VERY IMPORTANT! Kids who wind up in custody often
          have learning disabilities or come from dysfunctional families
          where they have often "failed" or been "put down" for their
          efforts. By accepting their efforts and encouraging them to keep
          trying, we attempt to show them they can be successful.
          Gang-related talk or messages are not permitted. Please assist in
          identifying gang-related type messages which may be different in
          different parts of the country. Alert us via TOTT_SYSOP to any
          message you feel may be a problem. Agree to carry and use the
          TOTT_SYSOP echo in order to remain up to date on current issues

     TOTT Sysop Echo [See Elist]
          This echo is required for sysops who wish to carry the TOTT echo.
          This is an administrative area which is intended to allow sysops
          to discuss ideas, explore options and brainstorm about problems
          posted on the TOTT echo. TOTT_SYSOP should not be made available
          to the general public. (NOTE: Moderator approval may be given for
          exceptions IF an individual has a special need for/or can
          contribute in a significant way to the TOTT_SYSOP echo. Please
          contact moderator for approval if you have someone you feel
          should be given access to this area.) TOTT_SYSOP prefers the use
          of real names; Sysop handles are permitted if your software makes
          it easier to use the same name/handle on both TOTT and
          TOTT_SYSOP. Post a test message on TOTT_SYSOP as soon as you
          receive the echo, giving us your name and the name, net address
          and location of your BBS.

     Satellite Television Echo
          The Satellite TV Echo is the Fido forum for a wide range of
          topics.  Like other hobbies the more you know the better off you
          are.  Being a smart TVRO consumer means avoiding bad hardware
          purchases and poor TV services! Is it just dish talk?  Not
          really. Satellite TV is very related to cable television (CATV)
          and direct broadcast satellite (DBS).  Therefore, along with
          conversations involving dish hardware and software, you will find
          discussions on how the cable industry and the evolving direct
          broadcast satellite industry are affecting what we dish owners
          see and buy.  The issue of scrambling and video piracy is a topic
          covered by the TVRO Echo but NO posting of pirate decoder codes
          are allowed !! This is the place to receive an education about
          TVRO.

     USS Liberty Attack By Israeli Defense Forces On June 8, 1967
          Discussion of the Israeli attack upon the USS Liberty on June 8,
          1967 and all related issues.  The attack resulted in 34 USS
          Liberty crewmen killed and 171 wounded.  The conference also
          discusses the unresolved issue of the War Crimes committed by the
          Israeli Defense Forces during the attack.  Those War Crimes
          include - but are not limited to - the use of unmarked aircraft,
          jamming of USS Liberty's radios on both tactical and
          international maritime distress frequencies, the deliberate
          machine gunning of the USS Liberty's life rafts in the water, and
          the refusal of the IDF to offer immediate aid upon cessation of
          hostilities. The Conference is co-moderated by two USS Liberty
          survivors.

     Victims of False Accusations of Abuse
          Discussions of the tragedy of FALSELY being accused of child
          physical abuse, child sexual abuse, spouse abuse and other false
          domestic accusations, often in the context of ongoing litigative
          disputes over child custody.  Excesses and seizures of children
          by overzealous or malicious Child Protective Services workers.
          This echo is NOT for victims or perpetrators of actual abuse, but
          rather for those victimized by being FALSELY ACCUSED.  Although
          NOT connected officially with the nationwide VOCAL organization
          (Victims of Child Abuse Laws), this Echo deals with most of the
          topics in which VOCAL and similar local groups are involved.

          Prisoner, etc.  Also allowable is discussion of British Comedy,
          as many echo participants are introduced to shows like Black
          Adder or Are You Being Served? through PBS.  However, the one
          exception is Monty Python's Flying Circus, for which an echo
          already exists.

     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.

     Wise Use of Public Lands Discussion Area
          WISE_USE is a  conference for the discussion of wise use of
          public and (private) lands, land management by BLM, Forest
          Service and others, legislation pertaining to land use, "taking"
          of private property by federal agencies, tactics used by
          environmental- extremist groups to promote land closures. This
          conference promotes the WISE USE of public lands and COMMON-
          SENSE environmentalism (CSE), as opposed to the "entire-ism,
          extreme protectionism and lock 'em up" approach promoted by those
          claiming to be environmentalists working for the good of all.
          Examples of CSE are: recycling, alternative energy sources,
          energy efficiency, etc. As trendy politics have a huge impact on
          land manangement, politics is also a topic for discussion. Rules
          apply.  F'req WISE_USE.RUL from 1:345/34.  In general, posts from
          militant environmental "activists" are not permitted. NO flames,
          no illegal activities. "Preserving our Natural Resources FOR the

          carried internationally and users of the echo are scattered

          are very experienced in the use of Opus, including those who have
          written a variety of Opus related utilities, as well as past and
          present developers of Opus itself.  Code fragments are regularly
          entered and passed via the echo. Several systems carrying the
          echo serve as repositories for the messages / code fragments
          which are transmitted via the echo.  New members and novice users
          are welcome and encouraged to share their experiences, opinions
          and questions.

     World Drug Policy discussion
          This conference was created to fill a need. The need for open
          communication about International Drug Policy. The "drug war"
          catastrophe is even now being amended in part by Harm Reduction
          Policies being adopted in other parts of the world. The United
          States, leading the world in other areas is behind in
          acknowledging that drug use prohibition is causing most of the
          violence associated with money to be made from an enforced black
          market economy. World Drug Policy provides a central location to
          find and discuss solutions that have to do with the War on some
          Drugs and provides a file repository through the SHared Area file
          Database (SHAD) available on the Filebone in SV_DPOL as a
          companion file echo. F'req SHAD for more information on how to
          access the files database.

     Buddhism and American Culture
          Buddhism has the wonderful ability of adapting to different
          cultures and incorporating the best of each. In America, most
          Buddhists received the dharma from teachers coming from Sri
          Lanka, Japan, and other Asian countries. Yet, to be a Buddhist,
          one does not need to adopt Sri Lankan, Japanese, Chinese, Korean,
          Tibetan, and other beliefs. YEN_KI is for the discussion of
          Buddhism and its interaction with everyday life in America. Its
          name is a hybrid, just like American culture: Yen is a Chinese
          word for fire, Ki is Japanese for energy. We discuss anything
          from baseball and apple pie, through abortion and racism, to
          Bodhisattva of Nazareth and Native American beliefs, all from a
          dharma perspective. (Began March 26, 1993)

     Relationships and Spirituality
          Relationships and Spirituality as well as the interaction(s)
          between them are broadly defined.  Other than keeping to that and
          being neither excessively annoying nor easily excessively
          annoyed, that mostly covers this echo.  This is part of the
          Corona Borealis SkyNet block of echos ZCed by Jeanne Garner of
          1:267/128.

     Reproductive Rights (Choice) Issues
          The usual reproduction equation is: get married, get pregnant,
          give birth, raise a child.  Alter even one part of that equation,
          and most of our society doesn't know how to deal with you.
          Chances are, our government doesn't want to deal with your unique
          situation, either.  That doesn't make YOU crazy; it just means
          THEY don't understand.  If you're interested in altering that
          equation, or if you're interested in legislation or bureaucracy
          that tries to make us conform our reproductive lives to their
          standards, join us.  This echo is intended to be a support group
          and a clearinghouse for information that affects our most
          personal family decisions.  An open mind and a willingness to
          tolerate others' choices is a prequisite for joining this
          conference.  Contact Donna at 114/113.11 to establish links; we
          hope to be on the backbone before long.
