    I didn't really get all that involved on Fidonet until I started carr it around 2000.

    Interesting.. I remember multiple (tempted to say many) BBSes in my
    area that carried FidoNet. I started running my own BBS in 1994, and I felt very late to the party when I eventually added FidoNet to my BBS in 1998.

    I don't think I started until 1994 and was only active until mid 1995 when life and a girlfriend caught up with my attention :)

    I found an old nodelist from 1991, when I started realitycheckBBS. The
    San Francisco bay area had to have over 100 BBSes listed.

    You have a four year head start on me. :)
