ECHOLIST The Echomail Conference List ECHO LIST 1 Feb 2000 ELIST002.TXT =============================================================================== ECHOLIST MASTER REPORT The Echolist ================= The EchoList, or Elist, is published at the beginning of each month and is a listing of EchoMail Conferences as described and submitted by each conference's moderator. It provides a place for Moderators to advertise their conferences, both to people who would like to participate, and to those who route echo traffic. It is also a reference for distribution systems wishing to contact the Moderator of an echo, or wishing information about an echo's topics. Elist entries include topic, distribution and contact information. Procedural or internal echo operational matters will normally be put in the rules file for an echo. The Echolist carries echo listings from various Networks and distribution systems, including all Zones of Fidonet, and all such listings are welcomed. 10TH_AMD 10th Amendment Echo 10th Amendment issues echo Status: Active Origin: Group: FIDO Distribution: Gateways: Language: # Nodes: N/A Volume: N/A Rules: Flags: Notes: Moderators: , roy.j.tellason%tanstaaf@frackit.com Last changed: 25-Sep-1999 by Roy J.

These concepts and philosophies are consistent with those espoused by law enforcement agencies throughout the U.S., England, and Canada, and are those taught by the National Crime Prevention Institute, University of Kentucky, Louisville, Ky. Users consist of police officers, citizens, crime prevention practitioners, or anyone else interested in this topic. The conference was developed as an adjunct to local Crime Watch and Crime Prevention programs and is designed to function as an independent communications network between all community-based, grass roots crime prevention programs and crime watch organizations, providing an opportunity to exchange ideas and interact directly with the people they serve.

This echo is for the discussion and sharing information on conferences ("echos") in Zone 1 of FidoNet. This is not limited to echos seeking FidoNet Zone 1 "BackBone" status, but for anybody that wants to "advertise" their privately-distributed echo, as well as for increasing the readership of already- established BackBone echos. Advertising of echos should not be placed in ECHO_REQ more than once a week. It is also suggested that this echo be "read-only" to people other than moderators or SysOps. But, reasonable questions about echos are "on-topic". The discussion of the operation of the BackBone(s), or Planet Connect, however, is OFF-TOPIC here, and should be taken to the Z1_BACKBONE echo, or a more appropriate administrative echo.

Rising with the false religious system is a false Christ (Messiah), known as the Antichrist, or Beast 666, and with him a false prophet, who will cause all to worship the Beast 666 or to be killed. All trade will be conducted by means of a mark applied to the right hand or forehead, with those who refuse to take the mark or to worship the Beast 666 being killed. This echo is to investigate, to the extent possible, the rise of these systems.

The Geoworks conference is meant for discussion of the GEOS operating system, as well as devices that use GEOS. Discussion will primarily concern GEOS as it runs on the PC or compatable computers. This does not rule out discussion of GEOS on Commodore or Apple platforms, but it is secondary to GEOS on the PC. Since New Deal, Inc. has distribution rights for the desktop version, and has renamed the software, discussion of GEOS as NDOS (New Deal Operating System) is on topic. As a corollary, since GEOS/NDOS uses an underlying operating system such as DOS or OS/2 for file system access, and for the initial boot and launching, discussion of other operating systems will be on topic only as much as is needed to support GEOS.

HOLYSMOKE provides a forum for the discussion and argument of religions and religious tenets and practices with a jaundiced eye. HOLYSMOKE welcomes all debate on the pros and cons of religious indoctrination. Arguing as to whose religion (or lack of one) is best (and why) is welcome here so long as it doesn't degrade into mind-numbing scripture posting or endless "flame for the sake of flame" messages. This echo also serves as a "dumping ground" for the dross whose messages are inappropriate in other religious or non-religious echos, such as HOLY_BIBLE variants, CHURCH&STATE, or R_CATHOLIC.

Home of the LurKolator posting robot. All nodes participating agree to not commit the sins of over-posting, over-quoting and obtuse replies. In order to monitor traffic flow, all participants must raise their right hands each Monday evening at 1900 hours local time, while online. The LurKolator Robot will count participants, and based upon sun and/or moon cycles, the amount of electrons ingested, and the general ROTFLMAO quotient, may or may not report results in the echo. Participants who feel compelled to post should raise their left hands each Monday night at 1900 hours local time, while online to allow the LurKolator Robot to ascertain with minimal reference to databases, lists, compiltations and veiled threats from the moderator that they have weakened.

Many distinguished moose, Hosers from the Great White North, and even famous Performance Artists like Saddam Hussein and George Bush have all frequented MooseChat at one time or another. A moose- like angle, alias, or shtick is appreciated but not necessary. Moose sometimes stray into serious topics and political satire is often seen, but those attempting serious discussion may need to survive receiving silly replies. The MooseChat "echo theme" is to disseminate knowledge about the noble moose, to discuss attributes of moose we have known and admired, and to enter messages which are a bit more silly or offbeat than one finds in most other echoes.

This is an echo for off-topic chatter related to conversations current in such echoes as MAGICK, etc. Any Moderator of any of the occult or philosophy style echoes offered by any network are invited to make use of this resource. A simple message to the Moderator via Netmail, email, or in the echo will suffice to become "affiliated." Sysops carrying MAGICK or any other "affiliated" echo are requested to also carry OCCULT_CHAT so that their users can optimize relationships and conversations without disturbing topic rules in the main echo. Moderators may direct OFF-TOPIC matters or Moderator disputes to this area. Any Moderator of an "affiliated" echo may act as Co-Moderator under the echo guidelines. Presently the following echoes are "affiliated": Magick, Sacred Magick, Mythology, Set, Holistic, and others noted in the echo.

This echo is for the discussion and sharing information on conferences ("echos") in Zone 1 of FidoNet. This is not limited to echos seeking FidoNet Zone 1 "BackBone" status, but for anybody that wants to "advertise" their privately-distributed echo, as well as for increasing the readership of already- established BackBone echos. Advertising of echos should not be placed in ECHO_REQ more than once a week. It is also suggested that this echo be "read-only" to people other than moderators or SysOps. But, reasonable questions about echos are "on-topic". The discussion of the operation of the BackBone(s), or Planet Connect, however, is OFF-TOPIC here, and should be taken to the Z1_BACKBONE echo, or a more appropriate administrative echo.
