I found your blog in a round-about way. <BR/><BR/>Although it might not really count because I was in college and it was closer to the mid-90's, I wanted to point out that there WERE girls doing BBS. I had an addicted roommate. It was definitely a social thing for us, as a precursor to online dating and yahoo chat. <BR/><BR/>As for yellojkt, I don't know you, but I bet it has something to do with your ethnic heritage and religion.pamDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16736045270601704808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-1130379672532185372005-10-26T22:21:00.000-04:002005-10-26T22:21:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.pamDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16736045270601704808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-1130351179248361802005-10-26T14:26:00.000-04:002005-10-26T14:26:00.000-04:00Right from the beginning when I saw your name, "Ye...Right from the beginning when I saw your name, "Yellojkt" my brain said, "Yellow Jacket" and still does.

I started with AOL, CompuServe AND Prodigy accounts and whittled it down to the AOL. I wasn't too much into the BBS thing although I did spend some time on Usenet, under my own name rather than a handle of some kind.<BR/><BR/>Here's my wild-ish guess: you're connected somehow to Georgia Tech. <BR/><BR/>I like clicking on the yellojkt.com link in this post.

Since you look to be on a boat in your profile pic, it's slightly higher than a stab in the dark. 2)you were inordantly attached to your raincoat as a child, wearing it everywhere you went whether it was raining or not. So like Charlie Brown became the "round-headed kid", you became the "kid in the yellow jacket".Mooselethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16874418427786990740noreply@blogger.com
