  9397. MOOSECHAT           
  9398.      Moose and Hoser "Canadian Humor" Chat                                 
  9399.            MooseChat is an echo for anyone who wants to attempt witty,
  9400.           humorous, or just plain silly messages. Many distinguished
  9401.           moose, Hosers from the Great White North, and even famous
  9402.           Performance Artists like Saddam Hussein and George Bush
  9403.           have all frequented MooseChat at one time or another. A
  9404.           moose- like angle, alias, or shtick is appreciated but not
  9405.           necessary. Moose sometimes stray into serious topics and
  9406.           political satire is often seen, but those attempting serious
  9407.           discussion may need to survive receiving silly replies.
  9408.           The MooseChat "echo theme" is to disseminate knowledge about
  9409.           the noble moose, to discuss attributes of moose we have
  9410.           known and admired, and to enter messages which are a bit
  9411.           more silly or offbeat than one finds in most other echoes.

  11177.           about "best" compilers, books, techniques, etc. are welcomed,

  11179.           issues (vendors, users, processes, etc.) is not.  We are,
  11180.           first and foremost, trying to be helpful - things which
  11181.           invade this "atmosphere" are undesirable and may result
  11182.           in Moderator action. Please maintain your opinions within

  11524.      Physics Fidonet Conference                                            
  11525.            The Physics Fidonet Conference is devoted primarily to
  11526.           the discussion of physics itself, physics teaching, and
  11527.           physics-related issues that affect public policy and the
  11528.           environment.  Our goal is to furnish a forum where those
  11529.           with a casual interest in physics can have their questions
  11530.           answered, and those with a professional interest can share
  11531.           their expertise and curiosity with others. Knowledge of
  11532.           physics, and how it relates to the world around us, is becoming
  11533.           central to participation in our increasingly technical society.
  11534.           Our purpose here is to be part of a forum that can help
  11535.           to improve and refine that knowledge.  Everyone is welcome
  11536.           to participate in this conference: students, teachers, scientists,
  11537.           and anyone else with an interest in the areas we cover.

  12048.           internationally and its participants are scattered throughout

  12786. SEABORN             
  12787.      Born at Sea, Naval research!                                          
  12788.            It turns out that the term "son of a gun" is actually a
  12789.           far worse insult than "son of a bitch."  A son of a bitch
  12790.           at least knows who his mother was.  A son of a gun was an
  12791.           infant found nestled in the coils of ropes under the cannons
  12792.           on a Naval vessel. The "ladies" of the port would be smuggled
  12793.           on board the ship, and could be kept hidden for weeks or
  12794.           months, often giving birth on board the ship.  When the
  12795.           officers discovered the child, it would be turned over to
  12796.           the Naval orphanage with the notation in the log of "found
  12797.           under a gun." And that is the most probable source of the
  12798.           surname Seaborn.

  14923.           is valid or not. Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew scholars welcomed,

  14927.           and one-sided approach that is prevalent in other echos.

  14930.           need to "agree to disagree" and then to drop the discussion
