  7997.      Moose and Hoser "Canadian Humor" Chat                                 
  7998.            MooseChat is an echo for anyone who wants to attempt witty,
  7999.           humorous, or just plain silly messages. Many distinguished
  8000.           moose, Hosers from the Great White North, and even famous
  8001.           Performance Artists like Saddam Hussein and George Bush
  8002.           have all frequented MooseChat at one time or another. A
  8003.           moose- like angle, alias, or shtick is appreciated but not
  8004.           necessary. Moose sometimes stray into serious topics and
  8005.           political satire is often seen, but those attempting serious
  8006.           discussion may need to survive receiving silly replies.
  8007.           The MooseChat "echo theme" is to disseminate knowledge about
  8008.           the noble moose, to discuss attributes of moose we have
  8009.           known and admired, and to enter messages which are a bit
  8010.           more silly or offbeat than one finds in most other echoes.

  9206.      OtherNets: Information on Networks other than FidoNet                 
  9207.            The OTHERNETS echo has been established for the dissemination
  9208.           of information about "OtherNets".  OtherNets are the multiple
  9209.           alternative networks other than FidoNet.  Many of us know
  9210.           of some, such as AmberNet, EggNet, Signet and RBBS-NET.
  9211.           But, did you know a network exists for Star Trek fans? Or
  9212.           business users?  How about a network for those of the Christian
  9213.           Faith?  Have you heard of LCRNet? Paranet? CandyNet? Where
  9214.           can you find Netland Electronic Magazine? If you're interested
  9215.           in alternative networks, you'll want to participate in the
  9216.           OTHERNETS echo. THE list of othernetworks...NETSALL.ART
  9217.           is published weekly in OTHERNETS, and contact points for
  9218.           these networks are urged to join the echo. Posters in OTHERNETS
  9219.           echo MUST be able to receive either Fido Netmail or InterNet
  9220.           E-Mail.  A sister echo, NETLINE may be used for detailed
  9221.           communications between members of the Othernets.
