Bull Moose Party
(gcide) | Progressive party \Progressive party\ (U. S. History)
The political party formed, chiefly out of the Republican
party, by the adherents of Theodore Roosevelt in the
presidential campaign of 1912. The name Progressive party was
chosen at the meeting held on Aug. 7, 1912, when the
candidates were nominated and the platform adopted. It was
also known as the Bull Moose Party. Among the chief
articles in the platform are those demanding direct
primaries, preferential primaries for presidential
nominations, direct election of United States senators,
women's suffrage, and recall of judicial decisions in certain
cases. In 1924 the label was also adopted by the party
supporting the presidential campaign of Robert M. La
Follette, and in 1948 it was also adopted by the party of
Henry Wallace. The party is no longer (1998) considered a
force in U. S. national politics.

cancelmoose
(foldoc) | Cancelmoose
Cancelm00se
A semi-mythical being that cancels Usenet
articles posted by others. (In general, an article can only
be cancelled by its original author.)
The Cancelmoose's usual target is spam or extremely
excessive cross-posting.
Some believe that the Cancelmoose exists only in the same
mythic sense that B1FF, the NSA line eater and {Shub
Internet} exist; others consider Cancelmoose's historicity to
be closer to that of Kibo. The latter group assume that the
real Cancelmoose is not one person (or moose), but instead is
a cabal of NNTP wonks. However, the Cancelmoose is probably
real, seeing as how it has its own website.

moose call
(foldoc) | whalesong
moose call
The peculiar clicking and whooshing sounds made by a PEP
modem such as the Telebit Trailblazer as it tries to
synchronise with another PEP modem for their special
high-speed mode. This sound isn't anything like the normal
two-tone handshake between conventional modems and is
instantly recognizable to anyone who has heard it more than
once. It sounds, in fact, very much like whale songs. This
noise is also called "the moose call" or "moose tones".

cancelmoose[tm]
(jargon) | Cancelmoose[tm]
/kan'sel·moos/
[Usenet] The archetype and model of all good spam-fighters. Once upon a
time, the 'Moose would send out spam-cancels and then post notice
anonymously to news.admin.policy, news.admin.misc, and
alt.current-events.net-abuse. The 'Moose stepped to the fore on its own
initiative, at a time (mid-1994) when spam-cancels were irregular and
disorganized, and behaved altogether admirably — fair, even-handed, and
quick to respond to comments and criticism, all without self-aggrandizement
or martyrdom. Cancelmoose[tm] quickly gained near-unanimous support from
the readership of all three above-mentioned groups.
Nobody knows who Cancelmoose[tm] really is, and there aren't even any good
rumors. However, the 'Moose now has an e-mail address () and
a web site (http://www.cm.org/.) By early 1995, others had stepped into the
spam-cancel business, and appeared to be comporting themselves well, after
the 'Moose's manner. The 'Moose has now gotten out of the business, and is
more interested in ending spam (and cancels) entirely.
