ECHOLIST The International Echomail Conference List ECHO LIST 01 APRIL 2006 ELIST604.TXT ========================================================================== ECHOLIST MASTER REPORT The Echolist ================= The EchoList, or Elist, is published at the beginning of each month and is a listing of EchoMail Conferences as described and submitted by each conference's moderator. It provides a place for Moderators to advertise their conferences, both to people who would like to participate, and to those who route echo traffic. It is also a reference for distribution systems wishing to contact the Moderator of an echo, or wishing information about an echo's topics. Elist entries include topic, distribution and contact information. Procedural or internal echo operational matters will normally be put in the rules file for an echo. The Echolist carries echo listings from various Networks and distribution systems, including all Zones of Fidonet, and all such listings are welcomed. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2600 "2600" Hackers Conference Filtered alt.2600 Newsgroup Status: Active Origin: Internet Group: IFMLY Distribution: FamilyNet Gateways: Language: # Nodes: N/A Volume: 774/mo Rules: Flags: Notes: Moderators: bob hoffman, echolist@familynet-international.org Last changed: 2-Mar-2006 by Bob Hoffman, 1:124/5009 4DOS 4DOS Support Echo Forum for discussion of the JPSoft family of software, including 4DOS, 4OS2, 4NT.

LURKER An Echo where most don't post Now...a place for those who can't stand to post, who want to remain annonymous, who will never be off-topic! Home of the LurKolator posting robot. All nodes participating agree to not commit the sins of over-posting, over-quoting and obtuse replies. In order to monitor traffic flow, all participants must raise their right hands each Monday evening at 1900 hours local time, while online. The LurKolator Robot will count participants, and based upon sun and/or moon cycles, the amount of electrons ingested, and the general ROTFLMAO quotient, may or may not report results in the echo. Participants who feel compelled to post should raise their left hands each Monday night at 1900 hours local time, while online to allow the LurKolator Robot to ascertain with minimal reference to databases, lists, compiltations and veiled threats from the moderator that they have weakened.

McMoo should operate on any DOS system with or without a network. It will also operate in a "host mode" allowing incoming data calls to be accepted, and it contains powerful event scheduling routines which provide the same level of control as most mailers (e.g. Binkley, Front Door) and will notify you upon receipt of up to 35 (user-defined) files. McMoo includes a powerful scripting language, offering automated control of virtually any aspect of McMoo, DOS, or any DOS program!

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.

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.
