     Even into the late '90s I recall some boards were linked with others, one   
   by one, into the wider world and there would be posts from someone saying   
   they lived in a distant country (usually Europe) and asking if anyone was   
   getting their messages and where th   
     To me it was like the early days of what is now ham radio where people   
   would say they were speaking from some distant area and could anyone receive   
   them and where they were.
