A summary for those that haven’t been keeping up with this series:
I found a number of 5.25″ disks at a thrift store a number of years ago. I finally got around to acquiring a 5.25″ disk drive and extracting the contents a while back. Since then I have been posting the contents here.
Based on the contents, at least some of these disks were apparently once owned by someone named Connie who used to run the “Close Encounters” Special Interest Group (SIG) on Delphi in the mid 1980s.
A specific definition of this SIG was found in a document on one of the disks: “This SIG, known as ‘Close Encounters’, is a forum for the discussion of relationships that develop via computer services like the Source, CompuServe, and Delphi. Our primary emphasis is on the sexual aspects of those relationships.”
This service was text based and was accessed via whatever terminal program you used on your computer to dial in to Delphi’s servers. Many of these disks have forum messages, e-mails and chat session logs. All of this is pre-internet stuff and I don’t know if there are any archives in existence today of what was on Delphi in the 1980s. In any case, much of this stuff would have been private at the time and probably wouldn’t be in such archives even if they existed.
This post includes the contents of DM0922.DOC which is dated September 21st, 1985. This is a screen capture of another mail reading session and like the previous one, it is relatively lengthy compared to some of the earlier ones. There are e-mails dated from September 18th, 1985 to September 22nd, 1985. Some topics include more from Rod and Connie, personal ads, books, SIG management, music, poetry, and much more. Towards the end you can also see some menu navigation within Delphi including some of the settings options.

"Personals" Ads
From: CABUYS To: ALL
Tho I've never done it, I've often thought about placing a 'personals' ad in
a local weekly paper.
And on several occasions, I've been tempted to answer such ads. But lately
my mind has been elsewhere! <grin>
Anyway, I still read these ads regularly just for the amusement of the way
some people write them. For instance, the following ad is one I wish I
had written before current events changed my need to do so. It reads:
"Wanted White Knight, approx. age 40, tarnished armor acceptable. White
steed optional. Inquire Damsel [P O Box edited out of this message for
obvious reason.]"
Has anyone here ever placed or answered such an ad?
If so, would you be willing to share your experience with us?

Book Reviews
From: CABUYS To: ALL
I'd like to start compiling for our database here reviews of many of the
books available about relationships, sex, or any other topic pertinent to
this sig.
This should be a combined effort of all sig members where you would submit
your book review as a message in reply to this one. Then in time I will take
the accumulated
reviews and set them up for the database.
Anyone willing to help me with this? I know! - It's difficult to tear

Hi Connie--We must have alot in common--read a note the other day
which was from a call from Bill Hunscler more than a year ago
asking me to call a person who wanted to do a SIG which might be
in "my area". Told him there was no such thing as my area and that I
would not presume to call you and that the more the merrier.
Life is sometimes a happy trip of intertwining country lanes
where joyful wanderers keep meeting to share wonderful moments.
Perhaps we will have the pleasure of such meetings.

You can't believe how I am giggling over your message!
You see, when I wanted to start my SIG on Delphi, I was dealing with
Glenn and there was a discussion between him and Bill about a possible overlap
of interests between your sig and mine. Bill suggested that I call you
but I never did. Funny, we both got similar messages and neither of us did
it and now look at us! <grin>
And one of these days, I *will* call - I always do what I say I'm gonna do -

So very often today songs are writen with little or no continuity to the
lyrics, the lyrics are burried by the intensity of the beat or rhythm of the
music, but every so often a song 'makes it' that has the beauty that the one I
am sending has.
There is a lot of background to why I am so affected by this song and some of
that might have even prevented my even hearing it but life has grabbed my
attention and caused me to find new beauty in places I might never have gone.
Until recently I didn't listen to much music at all and CERTAINLY NOT country
music but my life was affected by several people and after emerging from a
'cave' in which I was hiding I started hearing the words to songs, seeing the
fantastic things life has to give, and learned the importance sharing,
feeling, and loving if life is to be worth living.
I hope that everyone that reads this knows already or will realize very soon
exactly who they would recite or sing these words to and perhaps give them to
that person as the 'flower' for that day!
** "You Decorated My Life" (D.Hupp/B. Morrison - Pub. by: Music City Music)
All my life was a paper, once plain, pure, and white
'Til you moved with your pen, changing moods now and then, 'til the balance
was right
Then you added some music, every note was is place
And anybody could see all the changes in me, by the look on my face
And you decorated my life. Created a world where dreams are a part
And you decorated my life by painting your love all over my heart
You decorated my life!
Like a rhyme with no reason in an unfinished song
There was no harmony, life meant nothing to me, until you came along
And you brought out the colors. what a gentle surprise
Now I'm able to see, all the things life can be, shining soft in your eyes
And you decorated my life. Created a world where dreams are a part
And you decorated my life,by painting your love all over my heart
You decorated my life!

Subj: poem (submitted to poetry section)
"I Can Almost Feel You"
September telescopes outside
my bedroom window.
Night stains the air
inky dark.
I lean against the open window,
elbow on papered table,
ready for anything.
The last of the fireflies
rise from weeds,
blinking green,
interlopers with burning eyes.
Insects navigate the darkness,
warm night-walls,
secduced by carlights,l lantern moons,
and you follow.
Red clMississippi dirt
covers your shoes
as you cross the border,
attracted by the golden cliircle
of my houselights.
Within the night,
you observe lace-screened windows
framed by southern darkness.
You beckon me
into the honeysuckle.
I kiss the curve of your lips,
your hands question my skin.
I answer you with sweet kisses.
You take my shoulders in wary hands,
draw me against your heart
(where fireflies flutter).
I kiss the hollow
just below your clollarcollar bone,
where that soft shadow waits.
All I want to do is forget--
to know nothing but the weight of your body,
to hear nothing but this echoed breathing
I have imagined for too long.
I cannot tell where I end
and you begin.
As you retreat along delta flatlands,
I memorize the shape of your body,
the curve of your cheek
reflected in river eddiess in river eddies,
love catches in my throat
like a bone.
Tonight,
in the lglow of,
of my houselights,
I'll pretend your are waiting
in the tangled honeysuckle--
the glow of your cigarette
is a beacon.
I can almost feel
your breath against my neck.....

I can definitely understand the shyness. You can't imagine how often I have

Subj: changes to database from Insiders sig
1496 22-SEP 13:26 SIG News
9/22 Database Enhancements
From: DAN To: ALL
I have installed a new version of the databases and workspace in
the Inside Information sig today. I haven't made it globally
available until it's shaken down a bit. (I particularly don't
want to put new stuff in for you on a Sunday night!)
The various major and minor enhancements are:
FILE SIZES - the field for the file size now displays if non-zero.
The field is automatically calculated by the system at the time of
submission. It is also available as one of the editable items for
database managers. When using the edit option on the file size, you
can enter some number of your own or type SYSTEM to let the system
calculate it for you. The system-calculated number is reasonably
accurate, but not guaranteed. The number is displayed in bytes,
but I am open to other suggestions. At the time the new database
software is released for general use, I will run a program against
all of your production databases to update the file size fields --
since these are all zero now.
SUBMIT FROM COMMON PREVIEW - now works again. Getting this to
work required making some changes to workspace (internal changes
only), which may affect the way some of you have been moving from
workspace to databases and back. Submit from a database menu
probably brings you back to where you left off rather than putting
you in the workspace as it had previously. (Not sure of this.)
SPACING BETWEEN ITEMS ON DIR FULL - now a little easier to see
where one file/group ends and the next starts.
DISPLAY FORMAT OF MANAGER-ONLY ITEMS - for consistency, I now
display a / (slash) character before items that only managers
see. I haven't gotten them all yet, but I'm trying. This
should make it easier to tell who is seeing what.
FILE NAMING CONVENTIONS - now a bit more unlikely to create duplicates.
File names in COMMON PREVIEW when submitted by a user are now
prefixed by a two-digit suggested-topic-id and the first 5 letters
of the guy's username. For example, I submitted a file called
NATIONAL.DAT from my username DAN0 to be placed in the Using Delphi
topic here. Using Delphi has an internal id of 5 (this is the same
number that specifies the digit-position in the topics in smaint),
so the file created in COMMON PREVIEW is 05$DAN0$NATIONAL.DAT --
making it less likely that someone else will trash the file.
The new naming convention also has the (useful?) side effect of
causing a DIR within a database area to list the files by username
of submittor within topic. There are no major changes here; I am just
taking advantage of the longer filenames allowed under the new version
of the VMS operating system. Using PEABO's method of watching the
filenames as they are moved into COMMON DATABASE is still STRONGLY
RECOMMENDED.
If all works well, this new version will be available for installation
early this week.

Subj: quick entry to your sig
Allen,
I'm answering your message in Insiders via Dmail because it's not
recommended that sig managers use this method. It's not recommended because
changes can be made to menus that you are not aware of unless you see the
menus and with my method you don't see 'em.
Anyway, here's how I have it set to log directly into my sig, which is
Close Encounters. You'll need to make necessary change in sig name for
your sig.
