| I ran across the following new usenet group. ;-)
Article 1
From: dweinste@isis.cs.du.edu (David Hills Weinstein)
Newsgroups: alt.brother-jed,alt.folklore.urban
Subject: Introduction to Alt.Brother-Jed
Date: 18 Dec 90 17:00:23 GMT
Organization: Chaos under Glass
What is alt.brother-jed?
------------------------
It is an altnet distributed newsgroup for the purpose of telling
Brother Jed (Jed Smock) anecdotes, and, more importantly for tracing
the location of Brother Jed, Brother Max, Sister Cindy, Brother Rick,
and any new members of the troupe.
Why is this seperate from alt.folklore.urban?
---------------------------------------------
Stories of Brother Jed, while folklore in one sense, certainly bear more
resemblance to the unvarnished truth than urban folk tales (and much more
resemblance to reality than Brother Jed himself). Moreover, while the
stories themselves arose in alt.folklore.urban, the tracing of Brother
Jed is not only not really for alt.folklore.urban, but better suited to
a seperate newsgroup (so that those interested in finding the location
of this Merry Band can look in a single place without sorting through the
myriad messages which _do_ belong in alt.folklore.urban).
Who is Brother Jed?
-------------------
Jed Smock is a rather interesting character. Travelling the nation with
Sister Cindy and his other intrepid cohorts, he stands outside the nation's
centers of (at least ostensibly) Higher Education, shouting a somewhat
coherent message of intolerance. Easily baited, and downright entertaining,
all over the nation, his tour becomes the most popular lunch spot on campus,
and attendance in classes plummets. And, unlike other lunchtime entertainment
(singers, storytellers, jugglers), there is no guilty nagging feeling that
you really ought to drop a quarter or two into the box...
Where is Brother Jed now?
-------------------------
Brother Jed was last reported in Florida. His current location is unknown.
If he is sighted please post reports in alt.brother-jed (or borrow one of
those nifty little radar tagging devices they use on endangered species).
Why is "The Computer" watching Brother Jed?
-------------------------------------------
It has been suggested (and a plan of action started) that those reading
these newsgroups greet Jed with shouts of "The Computer is Watching You,
Brother Jed?"). Those interested can of course shout with the best of them.
Who is the the Demon Urrrggit?
------------------------------
It has been suggested that at each site, a person claiming to be possessed
by the Dread Demon Urrrggit (or perhaps the Jed Demon Urrrggit) go up
to Jed, and continue the conversation that was conducted at the previous
University. Those interested might consider carrying small recording
devices on their persons so that exact transcripts of the continuing
conversation can be posted.

| 133.2 | more BBS numbers | DELNI::MEYER | Dave Meyer | Tue Feb 26 1991 00:00 | 20 |
| Here are some more BBSs that claim to discuss Christian/Bible
topics, places where some might find kindred spirits. Please note the
area code before dialing.
(919)823-4465
(702)646-3688
(315)392-2368
(412)344-8226 (Pittsburg, Penn, as per request)
(814)368-8318
(901)452-0168
(512)794-8511
There are thousands of other BBSs out there, many are networked
together so that a discussion can be followed by people in several
regions - almost like noting. A couple of these nets are nationwide and
carry more topics than they could list. I know there are NewAge, Wiccan
and Druidic conferences out there but saw none listed. (There were a
LOT of "Adults Only" conferences listed, though) With that in mind,
look around for other BBSs which might cater to your tastes. If none of
the numbers listed are local, call the nearest and ask if they know of
something local to you, they will if it exists.

(I know the area code of the phone numbers do not match their cities,
but that's what the paper listed.)

ALL SUBSCRIBERS TO:
FREE CATHOLICS
and
EPISCOPAL DIGEST
The Free Catholics and Episcopal Digest mailing liss are now being
served by a LISTSERV. For those unfamiliar with the term, here is
some documentation.
When talking about electronic mail, the term mailing
list is generally used to describe an E-mail address
that forwards messages to more than one user. Mailing
lists abound on the Internet and BITNET, on a wide
variety of technical and non-technical topics.
For an Internet-style mailing list, there are
generally two addresses: one for the mailing list
itself, and one for "administrivia" (subscription
requests, etc.). The administrative address is usually
the mailing list name with "-request" added. For
example, the mailing list for discussing Message
Exchange is MX-List@vms.ecs.rpi.edu. Subscription
requests, removals, or comments about the list are
sent to MX-List-request@vms.ecs.rpi.edu.
Most Internet-style mailing lists are managed
manually, so mail sent to -request addresses can
usually be free-form. However, a few systems, MX
included, have mailing list handlers which process
some types of requests automatically, without human
intervention. The syntax of the commands you send
to these automated handlers will vary from system to
system. For example, the MX mailing list processor
accepts the following commands:
Electronic Mailing Lists
SUBSCRIBE for getting added to the list
SIGNOFF for getting removed from the
list
REVIEW for getting a list of the
subscribers
To have a command be processed by MX automatically,
you must place it on the first line of the body of the
message you send to the -request address.
Ok, the Catholic list has been set up such that there are 3 addresses
associated with Catholic:
Catholic - Mail sent here gets sent to all the people on the list.
Catholic-request - Users can send a 1 line listserve request to this address
for automagic processing (at least the way it's now set up)
Catholic-sender - This is the default return address for replies. It
comes back to the list owner
Ok, the Episcopal list has been set up such that there are 3 addresses
associated with Episcopal:
Episcopal - Mail sent here gets sent to all the people on the list.
Episcopal-request- Users can send a 1 line listserve request to this address
for automagic processing (at least the way its now set up)
Episcopal-sender - This is the default return address for replies. It
comes back to the list owner
There are three commands that can be sent to the <list>-request id:
Subscribe - Adds the user to the list for future subscriptions
Signoff - Removes the user from the list
Review - sends list of people on the list.
There are many reasons for my setting up both mailing lists this way.
First of all, the Digest format is very slow, making it difficult for
people to have discussions. Secondly, it is a big timesaver for me
and for you. When you send a message to the list, your message will
automatically be relayed to everyone else on the list.
A reply sent to an item from the list may go to the sender, or back
to the list depending on your mailer (basically, it will go to the
sender unless your mailer supports the "Reply-to:" header; most
unix mailers do, VMSmail does not).
If you have any questions, please feel free to send me mail at:
cms@dragon.com
emory!dragon!cms
This is my Christmas present to all you folks out there!
Merry Christmas!

From- Bert Bruner <OSAKB%EMUVM1.BITNET@VM1.NoDak.EDU>
Subject- NEW LIST: OBJ-REL - Objective Discussions in Religion
OBJ-REL on LISTSERV@EMUVM1.CC.EMORY.EDU
or LISTSERV@EMUVM1.BITNET
Introducing OBJ-REL, an Objective Discussion of Religion
Once one leaves the college dorm, those late night discussions about
religion and the nature of the universe are rather difficult to come
by. Many people settle on a set of beliefs and do not wish have any
further discussions, but some of us hunger for more information and
discussion.
OBJ-REL is intended to fill this need. Discussion on OBJ-REL is
intended to be centered around such topics as:
Existence of God or gods
Creationism versus Evolution
Reasons for the Existence of Religions
Epistimology
Religion and Government
Religious Behavioral Norms
Effects of Religion on Society
Any Discussion related to Religion that offers to
to Broaden our Scope of Understanding
This discussion is NOT intended to be forum for emotional appeals to
convert others to your "faith", but discussions about the content of
your beliefs AND THE REASONS FOR THOSE BELIEFS are encouraged.
In short OBJ-REL is intended to be a Scientific discussion of
Religion and Religious beliefs for the layman.
I hope this interests you and that you will join us for a some
interesting discussions.
To join OBJ-REL, send a note to LISTSERV@EMUVM1 or
LISTSERV@emuvm1.cc.emory.edu
The note should contain the single line:
SUBSCRIBE OBJ-REL your name
where "your name" is your name as you wish it to be displayed on
messages sent to you.
If you need assistance or would like further information, please
contact the list owner.
