  9478.      Moose and Hoser "Canadian Humor" Chat                                 
  9479.            MooseChat is an echo for anyone who wants to attempt witty,
  9480.           humorous, or just plain silly messages. Many distinguished
  9481.           moose, Hosers from the Great White North, and even famous
  9482.           Performance Artists like Saddam Hussein and George Bush
  9483.           have all frequented MooseChat at one time or another. A
  9484.           moose- like angle, alias, or shtick is appreciated but not
  9485.           necessary. Moose sometimes stray into serious topics and
  9486.           political satire is often seen, but those attempting serious
  9487.           discussion may need to survive receiving silly replies.
  9488.           The MooseChat "echo theme" is to disseminate knowledge about
  9489.           the noble moose, to discuss attributes of moose we have
  9490.           known and admired, and to enter messages which are a bit
  9491.           more silly or offbeat than one finds in most other echoes.

  11208.            The purpose of this echo is to discuss Pascal, programming,
  11209.           and topics related to learning both subjects. Discussions
  11210.           about "best" compilers, books, techniques, etc. are welcomed,
  11211.           while they remain on topic.  However, "bashing" of related
  11212.           issues (vendors, users, processes, etc.) is not.  We are,
  11213.           first and foremost, trying to be helpful - things which
  11214.           invade this "atmosphere" are undesirable and may result
  11215.           in Moderator action. Please maintain your opinions within

  11557.      Physics Fidonet Conference                                            
  11558.            The Physics Fidonet Conference is devoted primarily to
  11559.           the discussion of physics itself, physics teaching, and
  11560.           physics-related issues that affect public policy and the
  11561.           environment.  Our goal is to furnish a forum where those
  11562.           with a casual interest in physics can have their questions
  11563.           answered, and those with a professional interest can share
  11564.           their expertise and curiosity with others. Knowledge of
  11565.           physics, and how it relates to the world around us, is becoming
  11566.           central to participation in our increasingly technical society.
  11567.           Our purpose here is to be part of a forum that can help
  11568.           to improve and refine that knowledge.  Everyone is welcome
  11569.           to participate in this conference: students, teachers, scientists,
  11570.           and anyone else with an interest in the areas we cover.

  12780. SEABORN             
  12781.      Born at Sea, Naval research!                                          
  12782.            It turns out that the term "son of a gun" is actually a
  12783.           far worse insult than "son of a bitch."  A son of a bitch
  12784.           at least knows who his mother was.  A son of a gun was an
  12785.           infant found nestled in the coils of ropes under the cannons
  12786.           on a Naval vessel. The "ladies" of the port would be smuggled
  12787.           on board the ship, and could be kept hidden for weeks or
  12788.           months, often giving birth on board the ship.  When the
  12789.           officers discovered the child, it would be turned over to
  12790.           the Naval orphanage with the notation in the log of "found
  12791.           under a gun." And that is the most probable source of the
  12792.           surname Seaborn.

  14927.           for Christian discussion and not for debating whether Christianity
  14928.           is valid or not. Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew scholars welcomed,

  14930.           correct doctrinal beliefs. This echo is dedicated to supplying
  14931.           a place to discuss Biblically, without the name-calling
  14932.           and one-sided approach that is prevalent in other echos.

  14934.           are out there, and feel that if necessary, then all concerned
  14935.           need to "agree to disagree" and then to drop the discussion
