--- Begin Message ----Caveat Lector- http://www.rickross.com/reference/pbma/pbma1.htmlPBMA founder a 'Christ-like' figure Manila Times/June 9, 2002 By Herbie Gomez Cagayan de Oro -- "Voices" trained Philippine Benevolent Missionaries Association (PBMA) founder Ruben Ecleo Sr. in reading and writing in Arabic, Hebrew, Sanskrit and Aramaic so he could "interpret the ancient mysteries," according to cult members. The father of wanted former San Jose mayor Ruben Jr. was known to make predictions based on "Akashic Records" or, in Hindu mysticism, "cosmic consciousness." His continuing messianic mystique plays a major role in on-going drama on Dinagat, a small island off the northeastern point of the Mindanao mainland. There, cult members willing to die for their master are thwarting police efforts to arrest Ruben Jr., current leader of PBMA and son of Surigao del Norte Rep. Glenda Ecleo, who is wanted for the January murder of his wife, Alona, in Cebu last January. Like Jesus Cult leaders say the older Ecleo had possessed the powers to be omnipresent like the "Master Jesus [Christ] who had been in the Americas, Egypt, India and in his native Judea simultaneously, aside from being in the monastery in the Essenean School, near Mount Serbal, overlooking the Black Sea." Mainstream Christian sects have rejected such teaching. The cultists claim Ecleo "could do almost anything" by reciting the Mantra which, in Hinduism and Buddhism, refers to a sacred word or syllable repeated in prayer and meditation. And like the biblical Jesus Christ, the PBMA leader can also transfigure himself and can even resurrect the dead, according to the cult. "Master Ruben can materialize anywhere at will," claims the PBMA. It said Ecleo, on numerous occasions since his childhood, had been present in various places at the same time. "While performing his missionary work in Agusan, he was also physically traveling somewhere in Davao, Bukidnon, Leyte and Samar, using different names (and) perhaps different faces, some of whom are old or young identities ..." The cult said "all manifested personalities" - with nicknames such as Ben, Obing, Fred, Freddie, Ruben, Tony and Dr. Laway - had cured the sick like the "Lord Jesus who first applied these powers in Judea ..." PBMA leaders say Ecleo's healing powers directly come from "our Divine Father by virtue of the sacred or divine prayers which are called in Occultism as Mantras." Dynasty Ecleo Sr. built for himself and his family a "kingdom" on impoverished Dinagat, a small, irregular and typhoon-prone island mass off the northeastern tip of Mindanao. Since it was chartered in 1965, the late cult leader's PBMA virtually turned the entire island into an "Ecleo Country." The cult also became a powerful political machinery that it created, wittingly or unwittingly, a dynasty for the Ecleos. Ecleo's elder brother, Moises, became a governor of Surigao del Norte. His wife, the former Glenda Oliveros Buray of Gitagum, Misamis Oriental, is now a representative of Surigao del Norte to the Lower House while his son Ruben Jr. was one-time mayor of San Jose town. Another Ecleo son, Allan II, is presently mayor of the same town where the PBMA solidified its base. On San Jose now stand four multimillion-peso PBMA landmarks - the "Divine Master's Shrine," "Master's Mansion," "Comet House" and the cult's administration building. The San Jose edifices are indications that the PBMA has grown into a multimillion-peso, if not a billionaire establishment. Rich group It is estimated that the PBMA has already raised at least P35 million in entran ce fees from its members since 1965. The figure is insignificant if one considered the estimated P70-million annual revenue the PBMA generates by imposing annual dues on its members in the country. The PBMA charter obliges each new member to pay P10 as "entrance fee." Every year, each PBMA member is expected to pay a P20 annual fee. The PBMA boasts of having 3.5 million members in the country alone. It claims it also has members in Jordan, Canada, Australia, Palau, Hong Kong, Guam, Singapore, Malaysia, London, Italy, Monaco, Germany, Hawaii, New York and Scotland, among others. The group claims it is also organizing more PBMA chapters abroad. Aside from its fixed entrance- and annual-fee incomes, the PBMA charter also encourages members to voluntarily give money "when the Board of Directors or the Supreme President ... may desire to plead to the general members for the good or the betterment of the association." The association's constitution and by-laws is silent on the sale of PBMA rings but a Surigao City-based source said all its members are expected to wear one for identification. Each PBMA ring, according to the source, costs somewhere "between P50 to P100, more or less." Little government With all the money the PBMA rakes in, not to mention the influence it wields over Dinagat, nearby towns and neighboring Surigao City, it has virtually become a little government in its own right with a well-greased "private army," ironically, on the impoverished Surigao del Norte island. "Many of the PBMA members living in Dinagat are armed," said a Surigao-based source who spoke on condition of anonymity. The source said the armed PBMA members have made an oath to protect the "master," referring to Ecleo's son and successor Ruben Jr. who is facing a lawsuit in connection with the grisly murder of his wife, the former Alona Bacolod. Alona, who died by strangulation, was found inside a garbage bag dumped in a secluded area in Cebu last January. Agents of the National Police's Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) who were sent to Dinagat island last week complained they failed to serve an arrest warrant against the parricide suspect because residents have been protecting the PBMA "master." The Cebu-based CIDG team also accused the entire San Jose police force of coddling Ruben Jr. who is believed hiding inside the Ecleo mansion in San Jose town. "That's the extent of the influence of the Ecleos in Dinagat. They even control the police," another source said.

Languido October 17, 2004 The NBI is denying it is deliberately muddling the Arbet Yongco murder investigation in order to exculpate cult leader Ruben Ecleo Jr. from any blame in the killing. NBI regional director Reynaldo Esmeralda said that while he indeed knows former senator Robert Barbers and that Barbers is a family friend of the Ecleos, no influence was ever exerted on him concerning the investigation. At the time she was gunned down right inside her office, lawyer Arbet Sta. Ana Yongco was prosecuting the parricide case against Ecleo, who is accused of killing his own wife. Ecleo was immediately viewed with suspicion by many in light of the many deaths that have surrounded his capture. Regarded as the supreme master of the Surigao-based Philippine Benevolent Missionaries Association, Ecleo sought refuge in the cult�s enclave when the law sought his arrest in connection with the killing of his wife. Refusing to give up, Ecleo surrounded himself with dozens of armed followers, prompting hundreds of police and government troops backed by armored personnel carriers to storm the enclave, killing about 20 of the defenders before Ecleo decided to surrender. At about the same time as the assault on the enclave, almost the entire family of Ecleo�s wife was wiped out by a lone gunman later killed by police and identified as an Ecleo fanatic. When prosecutor Yongco was gunned down, Mayor Tomas Osmena minced no words in pointing to Ecleo as his suspected mastermind. Ecleo�s lawyers quickly denied the allegation. When police investigating the case came up with a suspect that was different from that of the NBI, the NBI just as quickly became suspect of trying to protect Ecleo, citing Esmeralda�s ties to Barbers and Barbers ties to Ecleo. That the police had a suspect that was an Ecleo cult member while the NBI had a suspect that is a former military man did not help ward off the insinuations against Esmeralda and the NBI. When the NBI wanted to file charges against its suspect, the police refused to cooperate and did not sign the endorsement, indicating it was sticking to its own suspect. The divergent directions the investigations were taking forced President Arroyo to blow her top and ordered the different law enforcement agencies investigating the case to � shape up and shut up. � Esmeralda, now on the spot, said the NBI is conducting an honest to goodness investigation and that it is unfair to be accused of muddling the probe when it was Yongco�s own husband Felimon, also a lawyer, who requested the agency to help. Esmeralda said the NBI will not give up its probe but said its conduct will not depend on police regional director Rolando Garcia whom Arroyo appointed as head of the task force coordinating the investigation. ------------ Cult chief: Saint to followers, a criminal to his critics Murder and firearms charges face Filipino 'mystic' Ruben Ecleo Jr after a gun battle in which 17 died Strait-Times/June 21, 2002 By TJ Burgonio and Carlito Pablo Surigao -- To his followers, cult leader Ruben Ecleo Jr is like Jesus Christ but to his critics, he is a wife killer, womaniser and drug addict. 'Our master has always been a good and loving person,' said Erlinda Custodio, a loyal member of Ecleo's Philippine Benevolent Missionaries Association. 'Like his father, he taught us to be good and to live by the word of God. He could never have done what they accuse him of, so they have no right to arrest him.' Ecleo is suspected of having murdered his wife, Alona Bacolod, after her remains were found in a black rubbish bag at the bottom of a cliff in the south of Cebu island on Jan 30. Police allege Ecleo killed Alona as she nagged him to kick his drug habit. On Tuesday, at least 100 policemen raided the cult's commune on the southern island of Dinagat to serve an arrest warrant on Ecleo who was in hiding. It sparked a gunfight in which 16 cult members and a policeman were killed. As the operation was under way on Dinagat, a suspected cult member attacked the home of Ecleo's in-laws, killing the leader's father- in-law, his wife, their son and daughter, and a neighbour. Yesterday, police said multiple charges would be filed against Ecleo. 'Definitely we will file murder charges, attempted murder and illegal possession of firearms', said Chief Superintendent Alberto Olario, who arrested Ecleo on Wednesday. Followers believe their leader has supernatural powers. They say he can transfigure himself, heal the sick, resurrect the dead and foretell events, including the siege of his mansion on Tuesday. 'Master Ruben told us there would come a time the island would be in chaos, that the police and military, used by the Ecleos' political enemies, would come and kill our loved ones,' said follower Jose de Guzman. But Ecleo's critics say he has a dark side. His dead wife's brother, Benjamin Bacolod, a witness to her murder who was killed along with his parents on Tuesday evening, said last week: 'He is nothing divine. He is an ordinary criminal who can afford to kill his own wife because he is already deep into drugs and has gone crazy.' And a former cult member has accused Ecleo of raping her young niece, alleging the victim was the cult leader's half-sister. 'Ruben's father got my sister, Marife, pregnant right after she finished high school and she gave birth to twins,' Officer Oliveros said. 'They are supposedly Ruben Jr's half-sisters but he raped the elder of the twins and got her pregnant. Only a crazy person can do that.' -- Asia News Network, AFP To see more documents/articles regarding this group/organization/subject click here. ------------- Philippine Sect, Police Clash, Over 12 Said Dead Reuters/June 19, 2002 Cagayan de Oro, Philippines -- More than a dozen people were killed in a shoot-out between police and members of a sect in the southern Philippines when authorities tried to arrest the group's leader, witnesses said on Wednesday. The shooting erupted on Tuesday evening when heavily armed police moved in to arrest Ruben Ecleo, leader of the Philippine Benevolent Missionaries Association (PBMA), on Dinagat island, the witnesses said. It was not clear if the casualties were members of the sect, police or both. Police were not immediately available for comment. Sect members used an M-60 machinegun during the shoot-out that started in the town of San Jose and continued intermittently into the early hours of Wednesday, the witnesses said. Newspapers described the PBMA as an anti-communist pseudo-Christian group formed in the 1960s by Ecleo's father. Ruben Ecleo is called 'Supreme President' or 'Master' by his followers, the reports said. Ecleo, who has been sought by police since January after he was charged with the killing of his former wife, gave himself up on Wednesday morning, the witness said. Further details of the clash in Surigao del Norte province, 450 miles southwest of Manila and near the main southern island of Mindanao, were not immediately available. The police operation followed several unsuccessful attempts to take Ecleo into custody. In May, police said thousands of sect members on the island formed a human barricade to stop police arresting their leader and they vowed to die rather than hand him over. -------------- Cult leader rocks Cebu jailhouse InQ7.net/September 10, 2003 By Jhunnex Napallacan Cebu City -- Talk about a stairway to heaven. Cult leader Ruben Ecleo Jr.'s cell in the Cebu City jail could have been mistaken for a bachelor's pad Monday night, when a surprise inspection revealed it to contain as much as 360,000 pesos in different currencies, four electric guitars -- and one portable chainsaw. Ecleo, also known as a rock musician, was detained in June last year on parricide charges after he was accused of killing his wife, Alona Bacolod, in January last year. Also seized from Ecleo's cell were a 3310 Nokia cell phone, one electric drum set, a violin, a flute, a headphone, an electronic gadget, one table vise, a hand drill and a humidifier. The money was in pesos, US dollars, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, Japanese yen, British pounds and euros. It included 54 pieces of 1,000-peso bills and 103 pieces of 500-peso bills; a total of 2,898 dollars in assorted dollar bills; eight 50-euro bills; two 50-Canadian dollar bills; one 50-euro bill; 400 Australian dollars and two other currencies. There were also at least three checks, for 1,000 dollars, 500 dollars and 1,000 pesos. The discovery of the money raised suspicions among jail officials that Ecleo, the "supreme master" of the Philippine Benevolent Missionaries Association, might be using the money to bribe his jail guards to gain privileges and special treatment. Ecleo is also the former mayor of San Jose town, Danagat Island, in Surigao del Sur province. Surprise inspection The items were discovered during the conduct of Operation Greyhound, a surprise inspection conducted by newly installed warden Superintendent Nestor Velasquez at around 7 p.m. Monday. The operation came in the wake of last Friday's dawn jailbreak by three inmates convicted of serious crimes. Velasquez said Ecleo's cell was the first to be inspected. Instead of the expected cursory inspection, however, the search ended past 9 p.m. because of the number of banned items found in the cell. Ecleo shares with four other inmates infirmary Cell No. 3, located on the roof deck of the city jail. Velasquez assumed the post of warden on Saturday, a day after the jailbreak. One of the escapees was re-arrested on Saturday evening. Velasquez promised to continue the conduct of surprise inspection inside the jail to change the facility's image and to prove to Cebu City officials that corruption in the jail would not be tolerated under his administration. Members' donations? Velasquez said the money found in the cell could be donations from PBMA members here and abroad. Some of the money was still inside envelopes and kept in a money box, he added. Velasquez said he ordered the money confiscated because a prisoner is not allowed to keep large amounts of money -- a clear violation of the jail manual. He said keeping such amounts could also endanger Ecleo's life. Or Ecleo could also use the money to bribe jail officers. Velasquez disclosed that Ecleo had in fact admitted that he had given money to some jail guards. The cult leader refused to name the guards and how much he gave to them, the new warden said. Ecleo also admitted that he had been using the cell phone for three months. Velasquez said he knew that Ecleo had asked permission from the previous jail warden, Chief Inspector Gledo Baroro, to allow him to bring musical instruments into the jail. But Velasquez said Baroro had refused the request. Interior undersecretary for peace and order Marius Corpus Tuesday ordered Velasquez to conduct an inquiry into why and how those items had been brought inside the jail. Corpus also ordered Velasquez to find out if Ecleo's claim that he had bribed some jail officers was true. ---------------- Ecleo runs for mayor from jail Ecleo does a Jalosjos Philippine Star/January 16, 2004 By Ben Serrano Surigao City -- Jailed cult leader Ruben Ecleo Jr. is doing a Jalosjos as he is running again as mayor of San Jose, Surigao del Norte. Ecleo is locked up in Cebu City, facing parricide charges for the killing of his wife, Alona Bacolod. He is expected to win handily in the mayoralty race since majority of the residents of San Jose town are members of the Philippine Benevolent Missionaries Association (PBMA), of which he is the supreme leader. Former Rep. Romeo Jalosjos also ran - and won - as second district congressman of Zamboanga del Norte while behind bars for the rape of a minor. The Supreme Court subsequently upheld Jalosjos' double life sentence, prompting the House of Representatives to drop him from its roster. Ecleo's father, Ruben Sr., who founded the PBMA 40 years ago, served as the first mayor of San Jose, one of seven towns on Dinagat Island. Ecleo's uncle, Moises, also served at one time as governor of Surigao del Norte. Running under the administration party Lakas-CMD (Christian-Muslim Democrats), Ecleo is teamed up with re-electionist Vice Mayor Zacarias Vales. In his municipal council line-up are his brother Allan, Nonoy Medallo, Cecil Zu�iga, Toting Maybuena, Lourdes Ecleo, Boy Alcala, Sol Lapinaria and Zosimo Bua, who are mostly incumbents. Ecleo's two other siblings are incumbent mayors of other municipalities on Dinagat Island. ----------------- 23 Surigao Cultists Killed as Law Enforcers Arrest Ruben Ecleo, Jr. Philippine Star/June 20, 2002 By Ben Serrano and Perseus Echeminada Twenty-three people died in a night of violence as police went to arrest the politically well-connected leader of the cultist group Philippine Benevolent Missionaries Association (PBMA) last Tuesday on an island off Surigao del Norte. Ruben Ecleo Jr., 47, finally surrendered yesterday after a night of bloody fighting between law enforcers and armed PBMA followers on the island of Dinagat, Caraga police director Chief Superintendent Alberto Olario said. The shootout erupted as a joint team of Philippine National Police (PNP) and soldiers of the Army's 20th Infantry Battalion - with air support from two MG-520 helicopters - tried to serve Ecleo a warrant of arrest in connection with the murder of his wife, fourth-year medical student Alona Bacolod Ecleo, in Cebu City last Jan. 6. As the violence on Dinagat island escalated, Ben Bacolod, Alona's brother and the only witness to her murder, was shot dead in his home in Mandaue City, Cebu, along with his father Elpidio and mother Rosalia by a man armed with an Ingram pistol and an Uzi machine gun. Witnesses said that as the Bacolod family was cut down by automatic fire, the gunman finished them off with shots to their heads. A neighbor of the Bacolods, engineer Paterno Lactawan, was also killed in the hail of bullets. The gunman, who died after he opened fire on pursuing policemen, was identified as Rico Gumonong, 28, a confirmed active PBMA member and security guard of Postal Bank in Cebu City. Olario, quoting initial reports, said16 members of the PBMA, one of them Ecleo's bodyguard and co-accused in the murder of his wife, Juriven Padero, were killed as they tried to prevent the lawmen from serving the warrant at the Ecleo mansion in San Jose town on Dinagat Island. Some 30 heavily armed PBMA followers opened fire on the lawmen. Police Officer 3 Rogelio Mordante of the Surigao del Norte Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team was killed during the gunfight, while PO1 Jubert Montenegro and another unidentified police officer were wounded. The dead and wounded PBMA members were mostly part of the White Eagles, an elite security team hand-picked by Ecleo as his personal bodyguards, and sometimes known as "the armed angels." The firefight began at 5:35 p.m. Tuesday, after last-ditch efforts to persuade Ecleo to surrender failed. Olario and his men also tried to get the 2,000 PBMA followers who barricaded the Ecleo mansion, forming a human shield around their divine master's home, and refused to give way to the lawmen. Some armed PBMA members in the crowd opened fire on the lawmen, forcing the police and military personnel to return fire and engage the White Eagles in a sporadic, three-hour firefight. The violence erupted as the town was set to celebrate its fiesta, the "Araw ng San Jose," when it suddenly became a battleground. Ecleo finally surrendered to Olario at the Ecleo mansion at 9 a.m. yesterday. He was accompanied by his mother, Rep. Glenda Ecleo, his brother Benny, a certain Attorney Salatandre and his close aides. Two armed PBMA followers were also arrested: Tanasio Cabahug, 50, and Generoso Ermac, 49. The suspects yielded a caliber .38 revolver with six bullets. Police also seized M-19 rifles, one .60 caliber machine gun, two .30 caliber machine guns, three Armalite rifles, an Ingram machine pistol, one PAL machine pistol, three hand grenades, three grenade launchers, one M-14 rifle, several handguns and two shotguns during mop-up operations. Ecleo was reportedly addicted to drugs and it was said that he murdered his wife in a fit of rage after she asked him to seek rehabilitation for his drug habit. Silencing the witness? Evelyn Bacolod, Ben's sister and their younger brother Ricky survived the initial hail of gunfire, but Evelyn succumbed to her injuries a few hours later at an undisclosed hospital. Ricky is still fighting for his life and is under heavy police guard as of press time. The Bacolods' assailant was slain after the incident when he engaged pursuing policemen from the nearby Subangdaku police station in Mandaue City. The attack on the Bacolod family came just minutes after Ben had said Ecleo asked his followers to wage all-out war on the PBMA leader's enemies, during a telephone interview broadcast over local radio station dySS at 9 p.m. that night Ben had also been the leading witness in the parricide case against Ecleo before the Cebu City regional trial court. Ben also said on the air that Ecleo had surfaced and told the police that if it was war they wanted, it was war they were going to get. Minutes after the radio interview, the gunman stormed the Bacolod home and opened fire, instantly killing Ben, his mother, father and Lactawan. Ben's wife, Baby, who survived the attack unhurt, said she went inside the house to get something when she heard the gunshots. She told police that when she rushed out of the room she was in, she looked out the window and saw a man in a blue shirt calmly walking away from their home. It was only when he was accosted by the police that the Bacolod family's assassin tried to flee. Witnesses who saw the massacre site said the Bacolod home looked like a slaughterhouse, with the slain and fallen family members awash in their own blood. Dozens of spent shell casings littered the ground. Needless violence Sen. Robert Barbers, who had been negotiating for Ecleo's peaceful surrender since January, said "(the Ecleo family) have expressed their intention to surrender Ruben several times. I have postponed several appointments ... to ensure his safe surrender but to no avail." Barbers added that he had gone through 10 attempts to successfully negotiate Ecleo's surrender before the PNP and their military backup were forced to serve Ecleo the arrest warrant. "They (Ecleos) themselves are to blame for what happened because they refused to surrender (Ruben)." Barbers said the bloodshed could have been prevented if Ecleo had surrendered in January. He added that it "depends on the investigation of the police" whether or not Ecleo will be held liable for the deaths of his 16 followers, one policeman and the injuries sustained by several others as a result of the violence. "It is unfortunate we lost lives here, including those (killed) in Cebu." In the last minutes of his life, Ben said Ecleo had been hiding in his mansion all the time he had refused to surrender and only surfaced to bless PBMA members who were willing to lay down their lives for their divine master. Speaker Jose de Venecia said yesterday Ecleo should have surrendered earlier to avoid the blood bath on Dinagat Island. He also said that he spoke with Rep. Ecleo regarding the need for her son's surrender days before Congress ended its first regular session: "I told her that if her son did not want to give himself up to the police, she could bring him to me and I would guarantee his safety and make sure that his rights are protected." De Venecia added that on Tuesday night, just hours before the Dinagat encounter and the Mandaue massacre, police and military officials sought his intervention to get Ecleo to surrender her son, "but Glenda failed to bring him in. She had apparently lost control over him." Ecleo said in a radio interview that he had long wanted to surrender to Barbers, "but my followers won't let me." Olario corroborated Ecleo's statement, telling reporters that Ecleo told him, "I'm sorry, general, that it came to this point because my followers did not want me to surrender." Police will charge Ecleo with the death of Mordante and the wounding of Montenegro and another police officer, as well as for illegal possession of firearms and explosives found in the Ecleo mansion. President Arroyo said yesterday that the full force of the law will be applied in Ecleo's case, both for the massacre of the Bacolod family and the parricide case he faces for the murder of his wife. The President told Palace reporters that Ecleo's arrest was reported to her by outgoing PNP chief Director General Leandro Mendoza, whom she called up on Tuesday night to express her displeasure at the lack of progress on the Ecleo case. "He (Mendoza) told me that (Ecleo) was being protected by his 50,000 supporters (on Dinagat Island). What will happen, really, (if) the law has to be enforced, will be bloody," Mrs. Arroyo quoted Mendoza as saying. The Chief Executive expressed sadness over the bloody outcome of Ecleo's arrest, but added that "the law has to be enforced." Mendoza described the operation to arrest Ecleo a success, adding that the policemen who were slain and wounded during the operation would be promoted to the next rank. Flown to Manila Barbers and several provincial officials of Surigao del Norte accompanied Ecleo to Manila and insisted that the arrested PBMA leader be brought to Camp Crame, where the central office of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group is located. However, the Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC) chapter in Cebu City said Ecleo must be brought to Cebu City, to face parricide and murder charges before the Cebu court. The VACC also filed yesterday before the Mandaue regional trial court five counts of murder for the massacre of the Bacolod family. Meanwhile, Olario said he relieved last Monday two Caraga police officers assigned to the Ecleo case: Surigao del Norte police director Superintendent Ricky Nerbez and Police Regional Mobile Group director Superintendent Celso Curitana. The two police officers were relieved and ordered by Olario to stay away from the Ecleo case after complaints reached him that they were staying in the Ecleo mansion at the height of massive manhunt operations for the PBMA leader. Police officials have decided that Ecleo will be detained in Cebu, to face murder and parricide charges leveled against him there, among other criminal suits filed against the cult leader. Ecleo was presented to the media by Barbers. The man who wielded almost godlike power over the ranks of the PBMA wore a checkered shirt and denim pants, looking helpless and hazy in his handcuffs. www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
