ECHOLIST The Echomail Conference List ECHO LIST 1 July 2000 ELIST007.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: 18-Mar-2000 by Roy J.

Above all else though, BlinkTalk is a place where we share friendship, it just so happens that many of us are visually disabled!
