This echo serves to relieve the noise level from other echos where nitpickers previously plied their dissatisfaction with Fidonet and real world ops, all the while demonstrating their ignorance of how things really work. Blowhards are found in North Carolina, Ontario, and Georgia, among others. 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 message. Masters of the 'Big Lie' school of revisionist history, Blowhards seldom recognize themselves even upon detection and notification.

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.

In order to monitor traffic flow, all participants must raise their right hands each Monday evening at 1900 hours local time, while online.

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.

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.

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.
