My first usenet post must be sometime in the 80s, through the decwrl
gateway. I had earlier messages to Arpanet mailing lists. And then I
ran a Fidonet BBS for about 10 years (85-95). Online timewasting has
been much of my life :-).


How much fun I had running 2:252/204. Only for a couple of years
(1990/1991) until I went to university and typed 'trn' for the first
time. Of course by the time I went to uni, the normal transport for
Usenet was TCP/IP like it is today (although we had an odd X.25 based
system called JANET, which didn't like TCP/IP because of 'not invented
here' syndrome).


I ran 1:282/341, and was moderator for the SF and WRITING echoes for
quite a while.

I imported a number of usenet groups and made them available to users;
and of course to myself and my wife.
