*********************** ECHOMAIL CONFERENCE LIST REPORT *********************** * * * EchoList Edition: 109 Release Date: 09/01/91 * * * * The EchoList is an informal, international listing of EchoMail * * Conferences as described and submitted by each conference's moderator. * * * * The EchoList is published on the first of each month. It is available * * for File Request as "magic" file name: ECHOLIST, from FidoNet Node * * 1:1/201. This provides a file named ELISTnnn.LZH, which contains (at * * least) ELISTnnn.TXT (the file you are reading). There is also a collection * * of submitted conference rules files requestable as ECHORULE (ELRULnnn.LZH).* * * * Likewise, moderator instructions for updates are available as "ECHOMOD". * * Moderators, please refer to ELMODnnn.LZH for instructions on submitting * * updates and additions. Questions and comments should be addressed to: * * Mike Fuchs 1:1/201 * * Consult your Regional EchoMail Coordinator for local availability of * * these files. * * * * Report Legend: * * n/a means a missing value. * * SYSOP means a conference restricted to Sysops only. * * MOD-APVL means personal approval by the Moderator is REQUIRED to join * * the conference. * * MEMBER means you must qualify as a member of a group or organization * * in order to have access to the conference. * * If the Symbolic Area Name is missing, it means that the moderator * * doesn't want it published. * * A n/a for No. of Nodes and Volume generally means the Conference * * doesn't exist, but the moderator is interested in setting it up. * * Report Files: * * ELISTnnn.TXT : The full EchoList ELISTnnn.MOD : Xref by Mod Name. * * ELISTnnn.ARM : Area & Moderator List ELISTnnn.NAM : Xref by AREA name. * * ELISTnnn.NEW : Areas New or Updated as of this Edition. * * * * 109 NOTES: I've been asked to pass along that you need to pay attention * * to the distribution and rules of a conference before requesting a link to * * it or passing it along to others. The EchoList lists ANY conferences any * * moderator wants to advertise. But not all of these conferences are * * available in FidoNet; and of those that are, not all of them are on the * * FidoNet Backbone. On top of that, many of these conferences have specific * * requirements concerning who is allowed to link-in, and rules about who is * * allowed to participate in the conference itself. Simply seeing the thing * * listed somewhere doesn't mean it's free-for-all public property. So, * * please respect the others involved in this hobby, and make sure you fully * * understand the rules of any conferences you carry. * * * * For those conference Moderators who don't participate, I'd like to bring * * your attention to a conference called MODERATOR. It's on the Z1 Backbone * * and it's just for YOU. * ***** Copyright (c) 1988 - 1991 by Michael G. Fuchs.

Looking for a specific file (and issuing warnings about those containing viri, trojans, and/or commercial software), compatability problems between modems and mailers, user/file validation techniques, problems and last but not least, how to keep your sanity while doing all of the above will be considered valid discussion techniques.

Got a question about how GroupMail works? This is the conference for YOU! Make your mistakes here, nobody'll yell at you. Need a hand? Somebody here'll give it to you. We LOVE GM! This conference requires the use of a GroupMail processor. File REQuest GMAIL (for QBBS), GMM (for Phoenix), or GROUP for all other bbs's from 1:107/5000 if needed. This conference is available from any of the listed STARGATE nodes, which make all conferences available as GroupMail. If you're looking for a conference, odds are the StarGates can get it.

Job offers may be made by any company with a job opening, or by a professional recruiting company which has been hired to fill the opening. Professional recruiters, however, should be sensitive to the feelings of net users and adhere to the guidelines for posting. JOBS-NOW is not a discussion group or a group for posting resumes. It is acceptable to repost offerings from other areas or to post offerings "second hand" if they are verifiable and bonafide. Multi-Level Marketing, "Pyramid" schemes, and any "job" that requires an up-front investment are not allowed. JOBS-NOW has strict and detailed conference rules, which should be read before posting any messages. PLEASE READ CONFERENCE RULES BEFORE POSTING ANY MESSAGES.

PRAYER_NOW Prayer Now! is a FidoNet "prayer chain" operating in the light of what Jesus states in Matthew 18:20, "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." FidoNet is an excellent way to bring "two or three", or more folks together, so why not use an echomail area as a prayer channel? Prayer Now! is a safe, non-preachy echo that has two simple functions: To ask for, and to offer prayers. That's it! Simple and to the point. Got an event in your life, or a sick relative? Got a test coming up? Need help with your family or the weather? Tell us about it and receive coast to coast prayers as a result! Prayer Now! is based on Christian beliefs, but all are welcome as long as the user agrees to participate in the spirit of the echo. Check out the PRAYER.RUL file (f'req from 379/26 or Elist Coordinator) for more details, but basically no preaching, just prayers.

Alter even one part of that equation, and most of our society doesn't know how to deal with you. Chances are, our government doesn't want to deal with your unique situation, either. That doesn't make YOU crazy; it just means THEY don't understand. If you're interested in altering that equation, or if you're interested in legislation or bureaucracy that tries to make us conform our reproductive lives to their standards, join us. This echo is intended to be a support group and a clearinghouse for information that affects our most personal family decisions. An open mind and a willingness to tolerate others' choices is a prequisite for joining this conference. Contact Donna at 114/113.11 to establish links; we hope to be on the backbone before long.

For the novice, we discuss the types of satellite equipment available for the average homeowner, with advice from satellite dealers nationwide. For the current dishowner, TVRO explores the politics that has moved this infant industry since its start in the early 1980's. From the influence of cable television on dish owners to the issue of signal piracy, TVRO participants range from cable company officials to TVRO activists trying to reregulate the cable television industry which has been accused of keeping TVRO from being a competitive threat. The 90's bring new topics to TVRO as well, from the new Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) services to fiber optic "Telco TV" and wireless cable.

"Shareware" is copyrighted software which is distributed by authors through bulletin boards, on-line services, disk vendors, and copies passed among friends. It is commercial software which you are allowed to try out before you pay for it. This conference also includes discussions about public domain, or PD software. "Public domain" has a very specific legal meaning. It means that the creator of a work (in this case, a piece of software) who had legal ownership of that work, has given up ownership and dedicated the work "to the public domain". Once something is in the public domain, anyone can use it in any way they choose, and the author has no control over the use and cannot demand payment for it. The echo is carried internationally and users of the echo are scattered throughout the world. As such, and since international calling is so expensive, off-topic message restrictions are strictly enforced. Members of the conference include many individuals who are very experienced in the use of shareare, including those who have written a variety of shareware utilities and programs. New members and novice users are welcome and encouraged to share their experiences, opinions and questions.

We are interested in the space development environment of the present and the near future, not scenarios so far into the future as to fall under science fiction. Space is BIG, but the focus of this conference is tight. While some chit-chat on physics, astrophysics, and astronomy is acceptable, discussions on HAM communications, extraterrestrials, UFOs, paranormal phenomena, future mutant humans are not. The Space Development Conference is for activists and settlers, and most certainly for humans only. It focuses on news and issues of current space development activity.
