Hi...  Not sure this is worth sharing, but as a kid on the local BBSes
in the early 90s I discovered the password to one of the local BBS's
adult section. I was about 14 at the time.  Once the sysop saw me
using it he froze my access and had me blocked on almost every other
local board until I wrote a letter of apology to him and every other
sysop saying what I did was wrong and I wouldn't do it again.   I
wrote it and sent it to him, and as promised my access to his and
every other board was restored.  Nothing was ever said again about it,
and even though I know the sysop now through my wife's work I've never
brought it up to him.... Maybe some day.

Met a fellow on my local bbs. It was pretty difficult to meet other
gay people then but bbs made things easier. Our relationship lasted 19
years.
