If you do not have access to FILE REQUESTS via your BBS or POINT software, another option to obtain the file would be to call one of the BBS's you receive your reply from, log on and download it directly.

It is modeled on a previous and similarly designed local Echo called R18COORD which was a circular flame Echo for dissatisfied Net Coordinators in Region 18 to bitch and moan about standard FidoNet ops they didn't agree with. ---Blowhards are concentrated in New Jersey but are also found in Texas, Missouri, New York, Oklahoma, and Alabama among others. You probably have Blowhards in your own Net or Region or Zone. ---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 Echo message. Masters of the 'Big Lie' school of revisionist history, Blowhards seldom recognize themselves even upon detection and notification.

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.

CP/M-80 is the most famous of the family, defining the Intel 8080 and Zilog Z-80 microcomputing standard of the late 1970s and into the early 1980s. Although overtaken on the desktop by MS-DOS and 16-bit operating systems, CP/M survives today both on new systems and on older machines. Many of the great names in the history of the microcomputer are associated with CP/M, including Altair, IMSAI, Processor Technology, NorthStar, Morrow Designs, Cromemco, Kaypro, Osborne, and too many others to list. Although no longer supported by Digital Research (now a part of Novell), CP/M is an active area of work for many programmers who continue to refine it, adapt it, and port it to additional platforms. CP/M originated many of fundamental concepts of microcomputer operating system architecture, such as the BIOS, and much of the early MS-DOS 1.x was directly inspired by or ported from CP/M. This echo serves as a focal point for those working with CP/M and its variants, including systems programmers, application programmers, and users looking for information.

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). It is strictly a conferenced method for access to the EchoList.

This echo is for the discussion and sharing information on conferences ("echos") in Zone 1 of FidoNet. 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. Also, part of the sharing of information includes the robotic posting of successful Moderator Updates from the "EchoList Scribe", 1:1/201. Advertising of echos should not be placed in ECHO_REQ more than once a week. It is also suggested that moderators of echos not send in more than one Moderator Update to the EchoList Scribe a week, since there is no control of the robotic posting of the successful updates from 1:1/201. 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". The discussion of the operation of the BackBone(s), or Planet Connect, however, is OFF-TOPIC for this echo, and should be taken to the Z1_BACKBONE echo, or a more appropriate administrative echo.

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!

HOLY_BIBLE and "Wholly_Bible" are (C)(sm)(tm)1991-1995 Steve Winter with all rights reserved worldwide. A FidoNet Backbone echo since 1991 Exploring the Christian Holy Bible (serious Bible study only). 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 echo exists to promote and discuss true original Apostolic Biblical Christianity . 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. If you are interested in what the Bible really teaches, check out HOLY_BIBLE (the Wholly Bible echo) for yourself and see what the false christians are hissing and roaring about. Beware of sleazy imitations and thieves that stole their echoname from this echo's description. This echo also is gated to/from the PRIME Network (PreRapture TM).

Like most people, we were ourselves unaware that there even WAS such a thing, until we began in in-depth examination of the evidence of personal oblivion in Phil's broadcast work. We feel that this evidence is quite strong, but you are free to beef at us, if you want. It won't get you anywhere, because we know we're right, but then again, there's nowhere to be gotten anyway. Speaking of beef, did we mention that we're vegetarians? No? Good, because we're not, but we wouldn't touch YOUR meat with the live end of a telephone pole. Even if it's a Ballpark Frank. We're all too busy trying to come up with echo names with HOLY in them to care much, though, and we're trying to see if we can con Robin, the Boy Wonder and Harry Carey into co-moderating this little bit of Holy you-know-what. Echo participants are encouraged to seek oblivion as assiduously as they possibly can. In fact, if certain selected people show up in this echo, we'll do all we legally can to help them achieve this lofty goal.

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.

While the Fido world is awash with the technical echos, there are very few echoes which serve those who might have, accidentally or intentionally, taken a *serious* interest in the humanities. Those echoes which do exist, HISTORY, HISTORIA, PHILosophy, etc. are isolated from one another, barring the sort of cross-curricular discussion which is for the old liberal arts.

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.

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.

Like other hobbies the more you know the better off you are. Being a smart TVRO consumer means avoiding bad hardware purchases and poor TV services! Is it just dish talk? Not really. Satellite TV is very related to cable television (CATV) and direct broadcast satellite (DBS). Therefore, along with conversations involving dish hardware and software, you will find discussions on how the cable industry and the evolving direct broadcast satellite industry are affecting what we dish owners see and buy. The issue of scrambling and video piracy is a topic covered by the TVRO Echo but NO posting of pirate decoder codes are allowed !! This is the place to receive an education about TVRO.

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. This echo is intended to be a support group and a clearinghouse for information that affects our most personal family decisions.
