     Power Broker Conference
          This conference is designed much along the same lines a s risk.
          It's setting is a smoke filled room, dimly like, located next to
          a huge Black Rock. In it, OS/2 worshippers plot the demise of
          Microsoft, Region 16 and the fate of the world. Nicknamed "The
          Evil Empire" this echo was one of the reasons for the rise of The
          Jedi Knights who gave rise to hope for the huddles masses in the
          northeast. In the third sequence, the Evil Emperor is defeated
          and democracy is returned.

     An echo of ghost and goblins
          A haunting echo of the power politics that drive Connecticut and
          also determine the fate of New England. A tale of the power
          brokers that workship the OS/2 operating system and IBM in
          general. Great reading along the lines of good Stephen King
          novels only in point of fact, real and ongoing. Based on the
          reign of of former and current fido gods.

          The AAOS Echo is a direct contact forum operated by American
          Atheists, Inc., from their Online Services Node at 1:382/1006.
          The purpose of the Echo is to provide members and prospective
          members of American Atheists with an introduction to the scope
          and mission of AAI. AAOS is not a debate Echo for theists or
          agnostics. Sysops carrying the Echo are requested to set the area
          to READ-ONLY to non-atheist Users. Those who wish to make an
          issue of atheism should look elsewhere [like HOLYSMOKE]. Those
          who want more information on the American atheist movement are
          cordially invited to observe and participate. AAOS Echo is now on
          the FidoNet Backbone. AAOS is not to be Gated into any other
          network without the expressed permission of the Echo Host. This
          Echo may be linked from the source [AAOS @ 1:382/1006] or from
          the alternate [Rights On! @ 1:374/14] during the Backboning
          phase. Send direct Netmail to the Host or alternate with session
          and Areafix passwords to the system where you wish to link.

          might have about the Amiga, and as a clearing house for new
          information about new Amiga products offered by Commodore and 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.

     Filefind Echo for AMIGA computers
          This is an echo that allows you to send a search request via the
          echo to "FILEFIND", "ALLFIX" etc. being utilized by participating
          BBS's and have the response come back from these BBS's via the
          echo, informing you as to what your search has found. (Some
          systems will opt to send replies via NetMail). Thus, you are able
          to do a FILE REQUEST via netmail on the basis of your search. If
          you do not have access to FILE REQUESTS via your BBS or POINT
          software, another option to obtain the file would be to call one
          of the BBS's you receive your reply from, log on and download it
          directly. It sure beats having to FILE REQUEST a BBS's file list
          (sometimes HUGE) or logging on to search their lists when you are
          looking for just one file! Conversation will be restricted SOLELY
          to questions and answer type dialogue and "HOW TO" (do a search)
          will be posted weekly.

          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.

     Intra-atheist education and discussion echo.
          Operates as a forum for discussing the phenomena of life without
          god/s from multicultural and historical perspectives, with and
          among persons of non-theistic beliefs, including agnostics,
          Buddhists, Marxists, etc.  Discussion of definitions, philosophy,
          phenomenology, psychology, sociology, history, and future of
          atheism is "on topic." Preaching, arguing from biblical texts,
          and discussion of the truth of other religious beliefs is
          "off-topic". This echo supplements the already-existing Fido echo
          A_THEIST whose focus is promotion of the separation of church and
          state and general atheist news. ATHEISM Echo is now available on
          the FidoNet Backbone as of 7 Jan 95.

     A_Theist - State/church separation & atheist information
          A-theist means WITHOUT theists/theism in government. This Echo
          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
          traffic in the Echo are available in the sample file A_THEIST.ZIP

     Bass Guitar Echo
          The Bass Guitar echo is here!  Oftentimes, bass players get left
          out of regular guitar discussions.  Other items like tablature
          and method books are rare and difficult to come by.  This echo is
          THE place for bassists to hang out - Learn from fellow players,
          get practical advice, share knowledge, tablature, and to just
          have a funky, 'Low End' place to call home. Bassists like Geddy
          Lee and Les Claypool have brought the foundation of sound into
          the 'Limelight' with raucous melodic solos and ripping basslines.
          Whether you play 4, 5 or 6 string bass, Electric or Acoustic,
          Fretless or Fretted, picked or not picked, this is the place to
          be if you play bass!

          for all others to learn what BMET/CBET/CE's are and what they do.
          Topics include trouble-shooting, repair, planned maintence, and
          calibration of any equipment that comes into contact with any
          patient, including such things as defibrillators, EKG / ECG
          monitors, patient telemetry equipment, dialysis machines,
          electrosurgical generators, sterilizers, and medical data bases
          for tracking planned and unplanned maintence of equipment. Also,
          electrical safety testers and "microshock" are discussed.
          Participation is open to the public, and encouraged!

     Birdwatching
          This echo is for all bird devotees, from the casual backyard
          feeder-watcher to the most devoted lifelister.  Birding and
          birdwatching covers a wide range of topics, including sightings,
          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.  Now on the Zone 1
          Backbone.

     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!

     Blowhard venting Echo for Sysops who can't help themselves
          ---A non-Backbone Echo distributed via past or present members
          for the purpose of microdebating non-important non-issues by
          self-appointed 'sealawyer-type' Sysops of FidoNet most of whom
          have recently migrated into FidoNet from military bases or walks
          of life where personal power was denied to them. ---This Echo
          serves to relieve the crap level from the real Echos [like ZEC or
          MODERATOR] where nitpickers previously plied their
          dissatisfaction with FidoNet and real world ops. It is modeled 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. ---Blowhards are concentrated in New Jersey
          but are also found in Texas, Missouri, New York, Oklahoma, and
          Alabama among others. You probably have Blowhards in your own Net
          or Region or Zone. ---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 Echo
          message. Masters of the 'Big Lie' school of revisionist history,
          Blowhards seldom recognize themselves even upon detection and
          notification. Now, they have their own Echo to pollute and in
          which they may be blissfully content to continue fantacizing they
          have any inkling of what FidoNet is or does. [But don't count on
          it.]

     Candlepin bowling
          Candlepin bowling is very popular in New England, especially in
          Massachusetts.  Many people around the country do not realize how
          difficult candlepin bowling is; you have a ball around the size
          of an orange, and very skinny pins.  There are even some local TV
          shows that show Candlepin Bowling, including one in Boston that
          has been on the air for 37 years.  If you've mastered Ten-pin,
          try Candlepin -- it's not as easy as you think!

     Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
          Anyone with CFS, involved in treating it, or just interested in
          the disease is invited to join this conference to exchange
          information.  Knowledge of practical treatments is often spread
          by word of mouth (and electronic mail).  So tell what you know
          about CFS and ask questions.  Let's put CFS to bed so we can rise
          up and get on with our lives.

          This echo originates from Carolina Cousin Geneealogy BBS
          (1:376/140) located in Columbia South Carolina. Chicora_Gen
          focuses on South & North Carolina Genealogy 1650-1865. In other
          words it specialized in the colonial period to the end of the
          Civil War. The echo has exisisted for over a year on my BBS as a
          local sub so it is not really new. We have many active users here
          in  Columbia that post on the echo on a regular basis and are
          eager to share data with others who have an interest in S.C. & N.
          C. Genealogy. I might also mention the repositories for the vast
          majority of all South Carolina records both county & state are
          located here in Columbia and most of the folks posting on
          CHICORA_GEN locally access the records on a regular basis. The
          moderator of CHICORA_GEN is GENE JEFFRIES whose name is familure
          to many of you lurking out there on the genealogy echoes. Gene is
          very knowledgable on all  resourses available those doing
          genealogy research here in South Carolina & North Carolina, as
          well resources located in various parts of the U.S..

     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.

     International College Echo
          The COLLEGE echo is an on-line community of students, faculty,
          and other interested FidoNauts who gather to discuss College
          Life.  Almost any non-annoying subject is allowed if it can be
          reasonably tied to the college experience.  Except politics.
          Political threads are annoying. So are threads about gerbils,
          spatulas, and Ayn Rand.  Threads that assert Ayn Rand actually
          =was= a gerbil or spatula would be just fine, even if somewhat
          difficult to document.

     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.

     CONSPIRACY
          Wondering what's going on in the world that the controlled media
          doesn't want you to know about?  CONSPIRACY is the place to
          discover the Truth about the workings of the United Nations, the
          Shadow Government, MIBs, The Illuminati, the Small Greys and the
          true story of Area 51.  It is where you can discover the Truth
          about the New World Order, about the menace of flouridation of
          our water, and who is responsible for the Killer Bees reaching
          our shores.  Posts are accepted from any source that wishes to
          cast a spotlight on secret government operations to turn you into
          a slave; skeptics are welcome only so long as personal attacks
          are not made on the posting individuals. The Moderator of this
          conference will strictly enforce this               rule.

          starting a new practice and ethical issues pertaining to

     CP/M Operating System Technical Discussion
          Open forum for the discussion of CP/M and related operating
          systems, including CP/M-80, CP/M-86, and MP/M.  CP/M-80 is the
          most famous of the family, defining the Intel 8080 and Zilog Z-80
          microcomputing standard of the late 1970s and into the early
          1980s.  Although overtaken on the desktop by MS-DOS and 16-bit
          operating systems, CP/M survives today both on new systems and on
          older machines.  Many of the great names in the history of the
          microcomputer are associated with CP/M, including Altair, IMSAI,
          Processor Technology, NorthStar, Morrow Designs, Cromemco,
          Kaypro, Osborne, and too many others to list.  Although no longer
          supported by Digital Research (now a part of Novell), CP/M is an
          active area of work for many programmers who continue to refine
          it, adapt it, and port it to additional platforms.  CP/M
          originated many of fundamental concepts of microcomputer
          operating system architecture, such as the BIOS, and much of the
          early MS-DOS 1.x was directly inspired by or ported from CP/M.
          This echo serves as a focal point for those working with CP/M and
          its variants, including systems programmers, application
          programmers, and users looking for information.

     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.  Alec Grynspan is the
          conference's co-moderator.

     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.

          inactive and will be held for use in future Echomail Policy
          discussions. The echo is carried on a passthrough basis only, by
          some intermediate hubs, and only committee members may receive
          the echo or participate in it.

     Echo Requests
          A conference for making FidoNet Zone 1 Echo Requests. This echo
          is for the discussion and sharing information on conferences
          ("echos") in Zone 1 of FidoNet. This is not limited to echos
          seeking FidoNet Zone 1 "BackBone" status, but for anybody that
          wants to "advertise" their privately-distributed echo, as well as
          for increasing the readership of already- established BackBone
          echos. Also, part of the sharing of information includes the
          robotic posting of successful Moderator Updates from the
          "EchoList Scribe", 1:1/201. Advertising of echos should not be
          placed in ECHO_REQ more than once a week. It is also suggested
          that moderators of echos not send in more than one Moderator
          Update to the EchoList Scribe a week, since there is no control
          of the robotic posting of the successful updates from 1:1/201. It
          is also suggested that this echo be "read-only" to people other
          than moderators or SysOps. But, reasonable questions about echos
          are "on-topic". The discussion of the operation of the
          BackBone(s), or Planet Connect, however, is OFF-TOPIC for this
          echo, and should be taken to the Z1_BACKBONE echo, or a more
          appropriate administrative echo.

          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

     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.  The
          echo is on the FidoNet Zone 1 backbone, and apparently has been
          gated to Zone 3 as well.

          EXPRESSION participants are primarily judged by their peers and

     Fantasy Sports and Game Simulations
          FANTASY_SPORTS is the place for discussion of fantasy teams and
          leagues, to include simulations of real or fantasy teams.  The
          term "fantasy" is used in the context of the game in which REAL
          players are selected or drafted onto teams and used in such games
          as Rotisserie Baseball, Front-Office League, APBA, and
          Strat-o-matic.  "Fantasy" does not connotate the use of
          characters more appropriate for a AD&D or role-playing game.
          Discussion of player stats is permitted as long as it pertains to
          player worth for fantasy leagues.  At various times of the year,
          there could be fantasy leagues going on.  Get your hands on a new
          simulation program and want to talk about it?  Are you
          considering getting a program and want to find out about it?
          Here's the place. Have you designed a SHAREWARE or FREEWARE
          program and want others to know it is available for download?
          Here's the place.  This is not a for-sale echo.  Commercial
          software up for sale should go to the appropriate for-sale echo.
          Gateways to other networks require moderator approval. Any
          recommendations for change and improvement of the echo are
          encouraged and may be sent to the moderator through the echo.

          refuse to do anything to correct this problem, FNB was developed
          to bring about the changes needed in FIDO, without the help of

          will also include which will be more irritating, the rammed
          packets, which will result in the constant disruption of FIDO
          mail, or the *C's refusal to take action against our favorite
          "False, Modem Scum" in Durham.

     Gardening For Anyone
          Information exchange on just about anything to do with gardening
          and plant-keeping.  Whether you keep a single African Violet
          given to you last Valentine's Day (and you aren't sure how you
          haven't killed it yet), or you're owned by a tilled plot bigger
          than your house (and probably costs more to maintain) - we'd like
          to have a place to talk.  Potting medium, pest control, tools,
          weather, fertilization, "What ifs", hydroponics, landscaping,
          ponds, and more.  Share what works and ask why something else
          wouldn't.  All ages welcome provided common courtesy is
          practiced.

     Gender Dysphoria Information and Support Echo
          The GENDER echo is an open support echo and is not fantasy
          oriented. GENDER is for discussion of issues related to gender
          roles. These may be Transsexualism, Transvestism, Crossdressing
          or other related topics.  The GENDER echo is open to all that
          have an interest in gender issues. This includes behavioral
          specialists and counselors. The Purpose of the echo is to be
          supportive and informative. Any group or BBS that wishes to
          advertise events or conferences that may be of interest to all
          may do so. They may post the phone numbers for the principle
          contacts for these functions, or for BBS's that carry special
          files or echos.

          of all persuasions to get together and convince each other that

          Bible quotes, and just plain fabrications are all part of the

          pros and cons of religious indoctrination. Arguing over whose
          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.

          HOLY_BIBLE and "Wholly_Bible" are (C)(sm)(tm)1991-1995 Steve
          Winter with all rights reserved worldwide. A FidoNet Backbone
          echo since 1991 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.  This echo exists to promote and discuss true original
          Apostolic Biblical Christianity . 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 also is
          gated to/from the PRIME Network (PreRapture TM). We have a
          trinity of three seperate co-equal, co-eternal persons as
          co-moderators, they are:. Jerry Moon 1:19/19, Arthur Farraway,

          Are posts being made to you in the Holy Bible echo that you can't
          respond to?  Well, you can now.  This echo is devoted to the

          there.  This is not a bash  or flame echo, but an echo devoted to
          allowing you to continue your discussion of the Bible and
          religion that you started in the Holy Bible echo and to debate
          the "teachings" in that echo.

          This echo addresses the Vedic perspective on Baseball color
          commentary. Like most people, we were ourselves unaware that
          there even WAS such a thing, until we began in in-depth
          examination of the evidence of personal oblivion in Phil's
          broadcast work. We feel that this evidence is quite strong, but
          you are free to beef at us, if you want. It won't get you
          anywhere, because we know we're right, but then again, there's
          nowhere to be gotten anyway. Speaking of beef, did we mention
          that we're vegetarians? No? Good, because we're not, but we
          wouldn't touch YOUR meat with the live end of a telephone pole.
          Even if it's a Ballpark Frank. We're all too busy trying to come
          up with echo names with HOLY in them to care much, though, and
          we're trying to see if we can con Robin, the Boy Wonder and Harry
          Carey into co-moderating this little bit of Holy you-know-what.
          Echo participants are encouraged to seek oblivion as assiduously
          as they possibly can. In fact, if certain selected people show up
          in this echo, we'll do all we legally can to help them achieve
          this lofty goal.

     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.

          INTENDED to be open to the public on systems that carry it, but
          may, of course, be placed in a private area.

     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
          bonafide.  MLM type offerings (regardless of legality, "Pyramid"
          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

     K12net Sysops Conference
          **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

     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.

          pro football, etc. Those outside the LA area are invited to
          participate - we have some of the best fishing in the world and
          love to talk and share information with others!

     Macintosh Items For Sale/Wanted
          A conference designed for ease of use to promote hardware and
          software sales of any Macintosh-related items. Minimal rules,
          wide latitude, friendly atmosphere. Discussion of suitability of
          a particular item encouraged. Commercial ads acceptable (and
          welcome) as long as they don't get 'out of hand'. A comment from
          another 'moderator' calls us a 'cheap imitation'. Why not give us
          a try and see for yourself?

          concerned about the maintaining of a "Constitutional Government"
          MILITIA_USA will attract the opinions of Law Enforcement
          Officers, nationally known leaders and opponents of the Militia
          Movement and attorneys who specialize in Constitutional Law.

          disagree with the opinion of the moderator may be banished
          immediately, permanently, and without warning. Systems who allow
          banned users to post in the echo will have their links cut
          without warning. It takes a special type of person to not be
          immediately and thoroughly bored with an echo like this, and we
          want that type of person here. There are people who'd kill to run
          an echo with rules like this. There are also both "True" AND
          "False" modem scum.

          This echo is for Melaleuca Marketing Executives. The purpose is
          to discuss all aspects of the business. Melaleuca, being a unique
          non-MLM business, offers different challenges for the Marketing
          Executive than for a working in an MLM. This echo is by
          invitation and verification of Melaleuca Marketing Executive
          status.  The rules are simple, do not annoy, do not be easily
          annoyed.  AND, do not recruit for ANY other business, as per
          Policy 20 in the Melaleuca Statement of Policies and Definitions.
          This echo for the Pember line only.

          The purpose of this echo is the discussion of Microsoft Word and
          its various offshoots--Mac Word, Word for Windows, DOS Word; any
          other versions that are created; and add-on products for
          Microsoft Word Products.  No other software, hardware, etc.
          questions (including Windows and/or other operating systems) are
          considered on-topic.  No "bashing" of competitive products is
          permitted.  The Moderator will absolutely not permit the "My
          wordprocessor is better than your wordprocessor" syndrome into
          the echo.  Speculation on features, release dates, beta cycles,
          etc. of future releases of Microsoft Word is not permitted. Keep
          in mind that since this echo supports ALL versions of Word it is
          a good idea to state which version you are referring to in your
          messages to avoid confusion.

     Muse Studio (Poetry Discussion)
          This 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 of poetry may be
          requested. News of contests, markets, books, poets, and media
          presentations are part of the service.

     Net 135 sysop conference
          This is the Net 135 sysops conference. It is a private conference
          for Net 135 sysops & co-sysops. Former members of Net 135 who are
          FidoNet sysops are allowed. This conference is presently
          unmoderated and this listing is intended to announce that the
          tagname and key are in use. Should the conference be changed to a
          moderated conference or the N135C or N135EC request the password,
          it will be given to the moderator or the N*C as the case might
          be. The lister claims no rights to moderate or have any duties or
          rights to the conference and does this because, having been a
          sysop since before FidoNet started, is probably brain damaged.

     Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Discussion Echo
          Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) represent the "bottom-up"
          school of Artificial Intelligence modelling.  ANNs are models of
          cognitive computation based upon and inspired by biological
          nervous systems, using many low level processors with massive
          interconnection in order to accomplish significant function in
          adaptive signal processing, pattern recognition, expert systems,
          process control, DNA sequence recognition, and many other
          applications.  Cognitive and behavioral scientists are able to
          model many phenomena through even the simple ANN models available
          now.  This Echo serves to support those interested in this
          multi-disciplinary field to locate resources, discuss problems,
          and exchange code related to ANNs.  Significant news items from
          the Usenet comp.ai.neural-nets newsgroup, Neuron Digest listings,
          calls for papers, meeting announcements, and other news from the
          outside world get posted in NEURAL_NET.  Discussion of the
          implications of ANN technology coexists with discussions of
          applications.  If thinking about the "how" of thinking appeals to
          you, this Echo should be on your "must read" (and write) list.
          The distribution is public and international for this echo.

     OS/2 Device Driver Development
          Programming and design of device drivers and other
          system-privileged code for the IBM OS/2 operating system.  This
          includes Physical Device Drivers, Virtual Device Drivers, Adapter

          NDIS-MAC LAN Device Drivers, Multimedia Device Drivers, Video
          Device (Presentation) Device Drivers, Printer Device Drivers, and
          File System Drivers.  Development in assembly and C languages are
          the primary interests, although any language may be on-topic.
          Device driver issues for other operating systems, including DOS
          and Unix, are also permitted when relevant somehow to issues that
          may be encountered on the OS/2 platform.  Although OS/2 is
          presently released for the Intel x86 architecture, discussion of
          OS/2 for the Power PC (Workplace OS) is specifically encouraged.
          Discussion of symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) issues is also
          specifically encouraged. General non-programming technical
          support queries are off-topic.  Note: This echo has no official
          sanction from IBM or anyone else.

          issues:  How can I write a door for OS/2?  What's the difference
          between comm programming for OS/2 and comm programming for DOS?
          Can I write doors to improve my BBS without being an expert
          programmer?  Is it possible to write PM doors, or to develop
          doors using REXX?

     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 Alternet, EggNet, SigNet and RBBS-NET.  But did you know
          a network exists for Star Trek fans?  Or Macintosh sysops?  How
          about a network for those of the Christian faith? Have you heard
          of MetroNet? LCRNet? Paranet?  Candynet?  Or the "69LIST"?  If
          not, then OTHERNETS is the echo for you!

          echo are based more towards user friendliness and user education,

     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.

     Quick Basic Programming Echo
          This echo is for use by those who program in BASIC, with emphasis
          in the QuickBASIC programming language by Microsoft Corporation.
          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 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.

          This conference is for the discussion of gun and other defensive

          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. Now available
          on the Zone 1 and Zone 2 backbones.

     Sahara Club Discussion Area
          A conference for the discussion of environmental-radical tactics,
          land closures caused by them, businesses and recreation attacked
          by them, and what Sahara Club is doing to battle this onslaught!
          This echo is pro-business, pro-land-use, pro-gun rights, pro-OHV
          and very supportive of a badly maligned timber industry. This
          echo is also available as the SAHARA internet mailing list - for
          info contact prm@borderlin.quake.com. SysOps Note: Access to this

     Discussion of Scientific Creationism
          This echo is for the discussion of all aspects of the Scientific
          Creationism movement.  By extension, any variety of scriptural
          creationism may be discussed here, not necessarily only those of
          Judaeo-Christian origin. Potential topics include: Is SciCre
          science?  Is SciCre suitable for teaching in public schools?  Is
          SciCre suitable for teaching in home schooling?  (The moderator's
          viewpoint is "No" on all the above points.)  Is SciCre good
          theology?  Is SciCre supported by any evidence? Personal attacks
          are deprecated and off-topic.  Pointing out ignorance is *not* a
          personal attack. The distribution is public for this echo.  The
          echo can be polled from 1:386/385 by arrangement.  Once more than
          25 nodes are linked in and more than 25 messages per week are
          noted, backbone distribution will be requested.

     The Simpsons
          Discussion of the very popular FOX TV show, "The Simpsons".  A
          lot of people may think that The Simpsons is just a cartoon,
          therefore, is not a "real" show.  However, many people find The
          Simpsons to be one of the best shows on TV; it is funnier than
          many sitcoms, and has a lot of subtle humor. There are even
          "special guest voices", such as Johnny Carson, Kelsey Grammer,
          and Luke Perry.  You're not picking up this echo!?!? DOHHH!

          Non-testable claims of faith or religion are not welcome.

          and experiences of smokers from all locations and perhaps by
          unification of smokers everywhere we can regain our personal
          freedom and dignity which was granted to us by the Constitution.

     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.

     Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
          An EchoMail conference, just for discussion of the televison
          series, "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine". Since it is closely related
          to ST:TNG and ST: Voyager (with cross- characterizations), there
          will be _limited_ discussion of ST:TNG and ST: Voyager allowed on
          the echo, but only as it pertains to the ST:DSN. Discussion of,
          or comparison with, the "original" series (TOS), or with any
          other Science Fiction series ("Babylon 5", "SeaQuest DSV"), 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.

          varied oddities, contradictions, and just plain silly stuff in
          which theists of all stripes engage. THEIST_WATCH is NOT a debate
          Echo. It should be set to READ-ONLY to non-atheist Users. Those
          who wish to engage in debate over the topics presented 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 theists do in the name of their various
          'gods' may want to tap into this Echo for some eye-opening news
          items. THEIST_WATCH Echo is NOW on the FidoNet Backbone

          VAJRAYANA is more appropriate to the discussion of Tibetan

     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
          or problems. 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. Coordinators: Faye Johnson

     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.

     Star Trek fan organization discussions
          Did you know that there _are_ Star Trek fan organizations out
          there? They have names like Starfleet Command, STARFLEET, the
          International Federation of Trekkers, The Federation, Klingon
          Assault Group, and Klingon League of Attack Warriors. These
          organizations have all kinds of imaginary Starships, Starbases,
          and Outposts, but they all have _one_ thing in common - they all
          have real, LIVE members in them! These fan clubs are all over the
          world! If you want to talk _about_ Star Trek, you'll be directed
          towards one of the other Star Trek discussion echos. The
          TREK_FAN_ORG echo will have only one purpose in mind - if you
          want to find out more about any local Star Trek fan group or
          world-wide organization, then _this_ is the place to ask! As of
          February 1995, this echo is on the Z1 BackBone! But, other
          Networks _will_ be allowed to Gate this echo to their systems.

     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.

     U2 Fan Club
          The U2 echo is a place where fans of the Irish rock group U2 can
          gather to discuss the groups recent projects, their older albums,
          trade recordings, critique their work, and even post guitar tabs
          of U2's music.  The Internet mailing list "Wire" is gated to the
          conference so there is never a shortage of new information
          straight out of Dublin.

     USS Liberty Incident - Arab/Israeli Six Day War
          A discussion of the June 8, 1967 deliberate attack by the
          combined forces of the Israeli Air Force and Navy upon a
          virtually unarmed USNavy ship.  During that attack the forces
          attacking the ship committed "grave breeches" of the Fourth
          Geneva Convention by their use of unmarked aircraft, their
          deliberate machine gunning in the water of serviceable USS
          Liberty life rafts that had been dropped over the side in
          anticipation of abandoning ship, and by their refusal to offer
          immediate aid to the torpedoed USS Liberty at the cessation of
          hostilities.  The US government, in turn, failed to live up to
          its obligations under the Fourth Geneva Convention by refusing to
          pursue the allegations made by USS Liberty survivors regarding
          the War Crimes that were committed against them.  The conference
          is moderated by a USS Liberty survivor who has served as
          President and as Chairman of the USS Liberty Veterans
          Association.

     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.

     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.

     Wholly Cow
          Finally, an echo devoted to the story of Cheeses! And not just
          cheeses, but butter, yogurt, cream, Porterhouses, T-Bones, and
          anything else derived from cattle. Beef about beef, moo over
          milk, whatever you want, as long as it's about cattle and the
          things we get from them. Steaks, burgers, roasts, jackets,
          handbags, and fertilizer, if it's all about cows, and ONLY about
          cows, moo on over to this echo. Discussions of pork, poultry,
          game, and veggies are OFF-TOPIC here. This is the WHOLLY_COW
          echo, and we're serious about being Bossie.

     Women's Leadership Network Hotlines
          Women's Leadership Network calls itself "a non-partisan group of
          politically active women [who are] turning to the Internet to
          fight conservative [USA] policies".  There's no reason FidoNet
          can't participate, too!  WLN_Hotlines is an echo for the
          dissemination of WLN's daily hotline bulletins, keeping
          interested men and women up-to-date on the goings-on inside
          Washington, as they pertain to women's interests.  Contact Donna.

     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 Internet at cerebus.acusd.edu

          X-Files".  Discussions will center on any topic relavent 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 wall 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.

     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)

          The echo is for the discussion of brewing beer and related

          characteristics, and temperature control.  There is a wine-making
          echo (VIN_MAISON).  Mead is appropriate for either echo.  Forays
          into related issues such as beer styles or beer availability are
          fine as well.

     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!

          give birth, raise a child.  Alter even one part of that equation,
