ECHOLIST The Echomail Conference List ECHO LIST 1 October 2000 ELIST010.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.

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".

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.

We want to promote ALL BBSs, not just our own, and while other BBS promotion echos rely heavily on the Internet, we work mainly in LOCAL groups, promoting LOCAL BBSs. This is NOT an echo for flaming or faultfinding, and none will be tolerated. It is only for CONSTRUCTIVE criticism and ideas on how to increase BBS and network awareness and activity around the world. We all know that FidoNet and all the BBS nets are taking a hit from the Internet. Everyone who wants BBSing to get back to it's former glory, come join us in reversing the trend.

McMoo should operate on any DOS system with or without a network. It will also operate in a "host mode" allowing incoming data calls to be accepted, and it contains powerful event scheduling routines which provide the same level of control as most mailers (e.g. Binkley, Front Door) and will notify you upon receipt of up to 35 (user-defined) files. McMoo includes a powerful scripting language, offering automated control of virtually any aspect of McMoo, DOS, or any DOS program!

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.
