| 357 | HUMANITIES | International Humanities Echo | George | Mosley | 1 | 3641 | 1 | 911 | A general conference to foster the interdisciplinary discussions between the various humanities. 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. The HUMANITIES echo seeks to address this isolation and provide a forum for enlightened discussion.

Need help with your family or the weather? Tell us about it and receive coast to coast prayers as a result!

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. | -0- | -0- | -0- | -0- | 05/10/92 | Y | N | N | N | -0- |

| 693 | SHAREWRE | Shareware Products Discussion Forum | Kent | Anderson | 1 | 382 | 91 | 0 | This echo is for use by those who are interested in discussing the various software programs which are distributed as shareware as well as the moral, ethical and philosophical issues surrounding shareware and its distribution. "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. | BACKBONE, INTERNATIONAL | -0- | 500 | 70/day | 08/17/92 | Y | N | N | N | -0- |

Acceptable topics include space and its related sciences and technologies, plus relative political and industrial issues. 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. | BACKBONE | -0- | -0- | 150/week | 07/07/92 | Y | N | N | N | -0- |

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.
