I'm not too sure about smoking - the mere fact that the stuff\n is burning affects all the air, not just that in the close proximity of the\n smoker. A pedantic point, but one to consider...

There are several places where I think smoking should be prohibited;\n Those are confined areas such as buses, subways, elevators, etc. I also think\n (and it is the law in NY) that smoking in supermarkets should be illegal.

(Re: Msg 225)\n From: JOHNMYSELF To: CABUYS\n \n Personally, I think that the notion of children consenting to sexual activity is\n at best, a little off base.\n \n Children can say yes or no to be sure, but for that kind of interaction, the\n participants should be able to understand completely the nature of what they are\n doing. I seriously doubt that you average child of say 8 or even 10 has the\n mental and emotional capability to handle sexual relations for one thing, and I\n don't think that man made laws or changes to them should be given serious\n consideration. This is primarily (I think) a moral issue first, and a legal\n issue second.\n \n Valid consent can only come from understanding and isn't really related to what\n I may or may not want\/like. As for me, there isn't anyone that will get away\n with telling me that my children can have sex with someone if they (think) they\n want to. Not till they are at least 18 anyway.!!\n \n FORUM> \n \n240 6-OCT-14:44: Open Forum\n RE: sex (Re: Msg 229)\n From: JOHNMYSELF To: RODM\n \n True, but there also other things that come with choices. Responsibilities, and\n sometimes trouble. Getting a good balance is difficult at best. However, in\n the long run, you can come out well ahead on the plus side.\n \n FORUM> \n \n241 6-OCT-14:50: Open Forum\n RE: considerations (Re: Msg 230)\n From: JOHNMYSELF To: RODM\n \n Of such stuff are many Sci-Fi stories which find remnants of technlogical\n societies generations later just (re)-emerging from the caves (sic) to restart\n the long climb to knowledge.\n \n <even star trek had such an episode> In which the leaders passed on such\n knowledge as was deemed safe to relate but did so in the form of laws and\n judgements from a might deity who watched over and protected them.\n \n Eventually, they would return to some measure of their parents society and\n developement. Perhaps they would manage to avoid the great errors that brought\n about their original collapse. And then again, perhaps not.\n \n FORUM> \n \n242 6-OCT-15:29: Open Forum\n RE: sex (Re: Msg 240)\n From: RODM To: JOHNMYSELF\n \n I didn't mention it but the truth is obvious that any true treasure of life is\n either won, earned, or given freely by another but in all cases must be\n protected, maintained, and cherished if it is to remain a treasure!\n \n Pardon my being so dull! But I think we have similar values and know these\n truths!

This list does not contain\n positions for oral sex, anal sex, mutual masterbation, or manual \/ digital\n <finger not computer> stimulation, nor does it include the advantages or\n disadvatages of the positions listed but if I can develope the courage all of\n those lists and references will soon follow.\n \n I hope that when seen this list will make everyone aware that the positions\n are variations and many of them are actually very common, others in the list\n are NOT real common and usually are related to some event, occassion, or\n circumstance.\n \n Afterall Life itself is filled with variations and often those variations are\n the beauties, treasures, or 'flowers' of life!\n \n ENOUGH!! - Now the List!:\n \n Position Woman's Position Man's Position Relative Positions\n ________ ______________________ _____________________ __________________\n \n 1 Lying on back Horizontal above Face to face\n \n 2 \" \" \" \" \" \" \" \" \" \" Opposite(Head-toe)\n \n 3 \" \" \" side Beside Face to face\n \n 4 \" \" \" \" \" \" (Forming 'X') Back to face\n \n 5 \" \" \/ kneeling over Kneeling Man behind Woman\n \n 6 Sitting\/Kneeling atop Lying on back Facing\n \n 7 \" \" \" \" \" \" \" \" \" \" Woman facing away\n \n 8 Squatting over \" \" \" \" Facing\n \n 9 \" \" \" \" \" \" \" \" Woman facing away\n \n 10 Sitting on Man Sitting(leaning back) Facing\n (man can reach woman)\n \n 11 \" \" \" \" \" \" Woman facing away\n \n 12 Squatting over \" \" \" \" \" \" \" \"\n \n 13 \" \" \" \" \" \" Facing\n \n 14 Leaning onto table Standing Man behind Woman\n \n 15 Lying on table \" \" Man facing Woman\n (holding her legs)\n \n 16 Leaning over low back \" \" Man behind Woman\n chair or arm of couch\n \n 17 Standing (leaning back) \" \" (leaning back) Facing\n \n 18 \" \" (leaning forward) \" \" Man behind Woman\n \n FORUM> \n \n247 8-OCT-20:17: Open Forum\n Playboy Magazine\n From: CABUYS To: ALL\n \n If anyone has the March 1985 issue of Playboy that they are willing to part\n with, please contact me via Dmail or in reply to this message.

Do you have ANY idea what\n YOU started???\n I started with the book rack in the *library* where I found a jillion (so I\n exagurate) 3 year old catalogs. some yellowed newspapers an` several Penthouse\n issues. No Playboys.\n Then I went for the stack of mags in the closet. THAT yielded 3 letters I\n hadn't answered, A financial report I've been looking for and a dividend check\n I had misplaced last Feb.\n Now I have to write 3 letters and go deposit the check. (All of .25).\n To make an even longer story short, no Playboy March issue.

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 \u201cClose Encounters\u201d 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\u2019s servers. Many of these disks have forum messages, e-mails and chat session logs. All of this is pre-internet stuff and I don\u2019t know if there are any archives in existence today of what was on Delphi in […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27865,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[2913,2042,2362,2914],"class_list":["post-27862","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-computer-arcana","tag-delphi","tag-digital-archaeology","tag-retrocomputing","tag-telecommunications"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27862","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27862"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27862\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27865"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27862"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
