  9481.      Moose and Hoser "Canadian Humor" Chat                                 
  9482.            MooseChat is an echo for anyone who wants to attempt witty,
  9483.           humorous, or just plain silly messages. Many distinguished
  9484.           moose, Hosers from the Great White North, and even famous
  9485.           Performance Artists like Saddam Hussein and George Bush
  9486.           have all frequented MooseChat at one time or another. A
  9487.           moose- like angle, alias, or shtick is appreciated but not
  9488.           necessary. Moose sometimes stray into serious topics and
  9489.           political satire is often seen, but those attempting serious
  9490.           discussion may need to survive receiving silly replies.
  9491.           The MooseChat "echo theme" is to disseminate knowledge about
  9492.           the noble moose, to discuss attributes of moose we have
  9493.           known and admired, and to enter messages which are a bit
  9494.           more silly or offbeat than one finds in most other echoes.

  11159.           and topics related to learning both subjects. Discussions
  11160.           about "best" compilers, books, techniques, etc. are welcomed,

  11162.           issues (vendors, users, processes, etc.) is not.  We are,
  11163.           first and foremost, trying to be helpful - things which
  11164.           invade this "atmosphere" are undesirable and may result

  11509.      Physics Fidonet Conference                                            
  11510.            The Physics Fidonet Conference is devoted primarily to
  11511.           the discussion of physics itself, physics teaching, and
  11512.           physics-related issues that affect public policy and the
  11513.           environment.  Our goal is to furnish a forum where those
  11514.           with a casual interest in physics can have their questions
  11515.           answered, and those with a professional interest can share
  11516.           their expertise and curiosity with others. Knowledge of
  11517.           physics, and how it relates to the world around us, is becoming
  11518.           central to participation in our increasingly technical society.
  11519.           Our purpose here is to be part of a forum that can help
  11520.           to improve and refine that knowledge.  Everyone is welcome
  11521.           to participate in this conference: students, teachers, scientists,
  11522.           and anyone else with an interest in the areas we cover.

  12773.      Born at Sea, Naval research!                                          
  12774.            It turns out that the term "son of a gun" is actually a
  12775.           far worse insult than "son of a bitch."  A son of a bitch
  12776.           at least knows who his mother was.  A son of a gun was an
  12777.           infant found nestled in the coils of ropes under the cannons
  12778.           on a Naval vessel. The "ladies" of the port would be smuggled
  12779.           on board the ship, and could be kept hidden for weeks or
  12780.           months, often giving birth on board the ship.  When the
  12781.           officers discovered the child, it would be turned over to
  12782.           the Naval orphanage with the notation in the log of "found
  12783.           under a gun." And that is the most probable source of the
  12784.           surname Seaborn.

  14891.            An echo for the discussion of Bible topics and themes,
  14892.           with a focus on Scriptural basis for ideas. This echo is
  14893.           for Christian discussion and not for debating whether Christianity
  14894.           is valid or not. Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew scholars welcomed,
  14895.           as we consider correct interpretation to be important for
  14896.           correct doctrinal beliefs. This echo is dedicated to supplying
  14897.           a place to discuss Biblically, without the name-calling
  14898.           and one-sided approach that is prevalent in other echos.
  14899.           We understand that different points of view and doctrines
  14900.           are out there, and feel that if necessary, then all concerned
  14901.           need to "agree to disagree" and then to drop the discussion
  14902.           for the time being.

  15378.            The X-Files conference is devoted to devotees of the TV
  15379.           show "The X-Files".  Discussions will center on any topic
  15380.           relevant to the show, such as episode plots, characters,
  15381.           episode titles and credits, and of course, the scientific
  15382.           accuracy of some of the issues the show raises, as well
  15383.           as the feasability of just how true some of the premises
  15384.           of the episodes can be. Sideline discussions of UFO's and
  15385.           paranormal phenomena (as they relate to the show) will also
  15386.           be allowed, as will messages concerning trading, buying,
  15387.           or the offering for sale of X-Files merchandise and collectables,
  15388.           as for many people, this is part of their expression of
  15389.           famdom of the show.  (This will not, however, be the main
  15390.           theme of the echo.)
