There's a fellow named Jason Scott who is doing a documentary on BBS
history.
http://www.bbsdocumentary.com/
He is/was looking for people who ran BBS' or were well known in the BBS
circles (I used to run ABBS #X in Atlanta, many many many years ago. Single
140K Apple ][, Hayes Micromicromodem. It was the first BBS in the southeast
to use circular message files, so none of that garbage of periodically
packing the disk, and reordering the messages, which always confused
people).
