Strong opinions that would be unwelcome in other conferences are invited here. The result is generally chaos, but occasional gems can be found. Get off your chest exactly how you feel while making a fool DECS out of yourself and others. Not for those looking for "nice talk" conferences: you will be challanged and you will probably be angered. Consider the conference as an electronic catharsis, and far cheaper than professional psychotherapy. :) Disruptive behavior is grounds for immediate dismissal from access. Behavior such as propagation of hate, multiple repeats of a message, use of obcenities DESC without contributing to conversation and entering messages that do not promote point/counter-point conversation will not be tolerated.

The ECHOLIST conference provides access to The International EchoList and it's publisher. It is primarily meant as a convenient method for people to see announcements of new and updated EchoList entries as they are posted rather than waiting for the monthly publication and distribution of the report files. The ECHOLIST conference supports submitting ECHO QUERY messages, which produce as a reply a report of the contents of the EchoList database. This conference also provides access to the author and publisher for questions and discussion of the database and the update process. The ECHOLIST conference is NOT for discussion of the flow or administration of EchoMail (refer to the ZEC conference for your Zone), it is NOT for discussion of the internal operation of EchoMail conferencing (refer to the MODERATOR conference), and it is NOT for the discussion of finding and establishing EchoMail links (refer to the ECHO_REQ conference).

Patterned after a campus Canterbury Club with a Sunday evening dinner tradition. Participants could be quasi-erudite, might show a respectful sense of humor, and demonstrate the humility of being less than 98% omniscient. The echo is open to all people, regardless of their religion, or the number of times they have been born. For those for whom reason and traditions often count as much as faith alone: "There's a difference between being baptised and brainwashed". A post-sophomoric Canterbury Club for all ages. Mostly for a US mainstream and traditional core of demographics and theology as spawned the US Declaration of Independence, and other such revolutionary things.. The 2000 year old trinity of the KJV is quite welcome, as are humor, burlesque, and parody - similar to the Jewish tradition of Purim. Has no teaching or conversion agenda: just good humor, good will, and maybe some random good works by serendipity and simply being considerate of others. A non-prophet group with a comfortable identity that can respect the beliefs of others. Collects and keeps a library of humor as well as addenda to the book, "These Also Believe". Certificates "of sufficient omniscience" awarded on a for-prophet basis to duly authorize pontificators to post outside this forum...the ONLY source of such certifications!

With so many "religions" and "three god cults" blatantly teaching opposing doctrines while "claiming" to be representing "The Bible", many are wisely deciding to look for themselves. No profanity, lewdness, etc will be tolerated. Deliberate off-topic messages and rule violations will not be tolerated. This is an internationally distributed Bible echo. Doctrines will face "the Bible test" in an open forum. This should not be confused with the pseudo christian, three god cult echos or any other cults or "denominations" of the RCC. This echo is extremely strict because of the cost of international distribution. All points MUST be documented by scripture! This is NOT a "chat" or "fellowship" conference!. This really is the only true Christian Echo on the Fidonet Backbone.

Many people are electing to educate their children at home rather than sending them to government institutions. Many homeschool for diverse reasons. It is a political movement rather than religious. I, though being an Apostolic Pentecostal (just basic true Biblical Christianity) preacher, do believe that homeschooling needs to be regarded as a political rather than a religious issue. HOWEVER, even as a political movement, basic foundational principles of decency and morality must not be disguarded. If your interest in Home Schooling is in any way related to the principles of morality and decency that the USA was founded upon, you may wish to consider the HOME_SCHOOLING echo.

ANNs are models of cognitive computation based upon and inspired by biological nervous systems, using many low level processors with massive interconnection in order to accomplish significant function in adaptive signal processing, pattern recognition, expert systems, process control, DNA sequence recognition, and many other applications. Cognitive and behavioral scientists are able to model many phenomena through even the simple ANN models available now. This Echo serves to support those interested in this multi-disciplinary field to locate resources, discuss problems, and exchange code related to ANNs. Significant news items from the Usenet comp.ai.neural-nets newsgroup, Neuron Digest listings, calls for papers, meeting announcements, and other news from the outside world get posted in NEURAL_NET. Discussion of the implications of ANN technology coexists with discussions of applications. If thinking about the "how" of thinking appeals to you, this Echo should be on your "must read" (and write) list. The distribution is public and international for this echo.

They are international conferences with participants in Europe, the Pacific, Asia, South and North America. PNEWS CONFERENCES are based on the proposition that all men and women are entitled to certain basic rights, to-wit: good and affordable health care, food, shelter, liveable wages, equal rights and opportunities and the conferences will examine those issues that cause despair and alienation. The primary emphasis for the conferences is the presentation of progressive news, views, and occasionally some poetry. "Progressive," meaning that which tends to improve society, the advancement of knowledge and visions for a better future. These are read and write conferences. Discussion is encouraged. Articles are also posted regularly from other PNEWS conferences on PeaceNet and InterNet.

The purpose of the echo is to help educate the public about the realities many teens face day to day and provide a "safe" place for teens to talk about concerns such as peer pressure, drugs or alcohol, gangs, fear of violence, family problems, getting a job, lack of self esteem, pregnancy, school problems, and the like. Peer support and adult encouragement are very important here. Teens in Fresno County Juvenile Hall participate through a special volunteer program, therefore, "Handles" are REQUIRED to protect identities. T.O.T.T Sysop companion echo also REQUIRED for Sysops. Sysops wishing to carry the TOTT echo agree to the following guidelines: Configure your system to require handles on the TOTT echo. Profanity, racial remarks, or name-calling are not permitted. Criticism or putdowns of others' efforts (spelling, grammar, opinions) are not acceptable. VERY IMPORTANT! Kids who wind up in custody often have learning disabilities or come from dysfunctional families where they have often "failed" or been "put down" for their efforts. By accepting their efforts and encouraging them to keep trying, we attempt to show them they can be successful. Gang-related talk or messages are not permitted. Please assist in identifying gang-related type messages which may be different in different parts of the country. Alert us via TOTT_SYSOP to any message you feel may be a problem. Agree to carry and use the TOTT_SYSOP echo in order to remain up to date on current issues or problems.

In America, most Buddhists received the dharma from teachers coming from Sri Lanka, Japan, and other Asian countries. Yet, to be a Buddhist, one does not need to adopt Sri Lankan, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Tibetan, and other beliefs. YEN_KI is for the discussion of Buddhism and its interaction with everyday life in America. Its name is a hybrid, just like American culture: Yen is a Chinese word for fire, Ki is Japanese for energy. We discuss anything from baseball and apple pie, through abortion and racism, to Bodhisattva of Nazareth and Native American beliefs, all from a dharma perspective.

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.
