I started off as a caller, then a co-sysop, managing a board from the
BBS interface, moving messages, updating file listings, and so forth.
Got the bug when I figured it was cheaper to set up a BBS and have
people send me files than to go out and get them from other boards, and
got sucked into the challenge of making handfuls of programs play nice
and talk to each other. Totally automating a DOS BBS through the One
Batch File was quite a challenge back in the 90s.
