   For me, BBSs were kinda hard to use even by 1990. It wasn't until I started   
   calling Renegade boards (maybe around 1995) that I learned how to appreciate   
   message bases.   
      
   You started around 1983 - but at that time, was there Fidonet? Or was there   
   even a decent message base system around? I guess Telegard was ok for   
   messaging but I just couldn't learn to deal with WC! or PCBoards. They were   
   for file leeching only!   
      
   I think early versions of Telegard didn't have an option to "clear screen   
   between messages," and that was and still is a very desirable option for me.
