Oh no. I was reading them on my Amiga 500 and this was a BBS in a college town and was the first place I was able to read conversations from the Internet.

@wtwagg @erikreadonly @Tedspence @tchambers first access for me was the SF-lovers mailing list on the ARPANet (via a relay; students didn't have direct net access), read on the university's mainframe. From there, Usenet. Didn't own my own computer then, so no BBSs and no place to save files. If I wanted to keep something I printed it. I have a binder of printed email from my now-spouse, but that didn't happen until a lot later.
