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. NO public buying, selling, or trading of books is permitted except in situations approved by the moderator.

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.

If you're interested in alternative networks, you'll want to participate in the OTHERNETS echo. THE list of othernetworks...NETSALL.ART is published weekly in OTHERNETS, and contact points for these networks are urged to join the echo. Posters in OTHERNETS echo MUST be able to receive either Fido Netmail or InterNet E-Mail. A sister echo, NETLINE may be used for detailed communications between members of the Othernets.

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.

It turns out that the term "son of a gun" is actually a far worse insult than "son of a bitch." A son of a bitch at least knows who his mother was. A son of a gun was an infant found nestled in the coils of ropes under the cannons on a Naval vessel. The "ladies" of the port would be smuggled on board the ship, and could be kept hidden for weeks or months, often giving birth on board the ship. When the officers discovered the child, it would be turned over to the Naval orphanage with the notation in the log of "found under a gun." And that is the most probable source of the surname Seaborn. Status: Active Origin: 1:10/22 Group: FIDO Distribution: Private Distribution.

The VATICAN INFORMATION SERVICE (V.I.S.) is a Holy See information system instituted within the framework of the Holy See Press Office which furnishes information on the pastoral and magisterial activity of the Holy Father and the Holy See. Begun in 1991 V.I.S. is available Monday through Friday except for the month of August. V.I.S. deals primarily with the acts and nominations of the Holy Father; syntheses of his homilies and speeches, presentations and communications relative to documents written by the Holy Father or departments of the Apostolic See, Holy See activities (congregations, councils, synods, etc.); and communiques and positions taken by the Holy See normally made public through the Press Office. During the month of August when VIS is closed other pertinent articles will be posted to the Echo. This echo is read-only in nature. Posts to the echo are *strongly* discouraged.

An echo for the discussion of Bible topics and themes, with a focus on Scriptural basis for ideas. This echo is for Christian discussion and not for debating whether Christianity is valid or not. Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew scholars welcomed, as we consider correct interpretation to be important for correct doctrinal beliefs. This echo is dedicated to supplying a place to discuss Biblically, without the name-calling and one-sided approach that is prevalent in other echos. We understand that different points of view and doctrines are out there, and feel that if necessary, then all concerned need to "agree to disagree" and then to drop the discussion for the time being.
