ECHOLIST The International Echomail Conference List ECHO LIST 12 April 2001 ELIST104.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.

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.

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.

This echo will be used to collect information from Fidonet systems regarding files currently online, other features of the individual system (chat, online games, message echos and the like) and later, possibly HTML ads for the systems. The Filelist.SysInfo collection echo is an international SysOp echo where it is hoped that all SysOps in FidoNet will post their file lists, etc. and is intended to collect these various types of information that will be used as DATA in the project database.

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.

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.

Our goal is to furnish a forum where those with a casual interest in physics can have their questions answered, and those with a professional interest can share their expertise and curiosity with others. Knowledge of physics, and how it relates to the world around us, is becoming central to participation in our increasingly technical society. Our purpose here is to be part of a forum that can help to improve and refine that knowledge. Everyone is welcome to participate in this conference: students, teachers, scientists, and anyone else with an interest in the areas we cover.

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.
