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.
