That rhymes with my memory of when I first met Ben.  I really didn't get into
Fidonet fully until I was nodelisted for the first time.  I was actually a lot
more active in Sysops' Tech Net (STN) at that time and Fidonet was more of an
afterthought.  As STN slowly died off, I became more active in Fidonet and
that's when I first met Ben.

Later,
Sean
