Hello Sarah - 

CA>> Gee, now I'm wondering what ELIST means within FidoNet. ;-) 

SN> In FidoNet, ELIST is short for Echo List, the "official"
SN> listing of all available echoes (forums*). If an echo's
SN> ELIST entry has expired, it is in danger of being dropped
SN> from distribution unless the moderator acts within a
SN> certain timeframe to renew the entry. 

CA>> An 'elist' is short for 'email listing'. 

SN> I've always seen that referred to as an email list. 

Must be a generational thing. 

CA>> The reference to "lurking" 

SN> That's a FidoNet term, as well. 

What's "off-topic" mean? ;-) 

SN> *(Yes, I know that's not proper Latin.) 

Latina lingua mortua est.
