You can post it\nin the forum with whatever changes you wish or you can delete it-no problem\neither way.\n\nhere it is:\n\nRecently this situation and question came up in conference with a member and we \nwould like to know how you would answer it:\n\nThis is a quote from that conference:\n\n\"need some advice. <his mate> and he had a group of friends but\ninterestingly enough it was almost all ladies and him. He loved it\nbut the ladies, tho liking each other, felt somewhat cheated. It\nseems the women are more free and kinky than men. Any thoughts on\nhow to get some gents to fullfill the ladies' fantasies?\"\n \n\"We tried three other guys - one would never show at the parties, one\ncouldn't handle ladies who liked each other, and one <married> kept\ntrying to slice ladies to monopolize. You have to be careful about\nwhom you ask to join such groups.\"\n\nLove,\nConnie\n\n\nMAIL> read 1\n\n #1 15-SEP-1985 11:59:31 MAIL\n\nFrom: BOS1A::CABUYS \"CONNIE\"\nTo: BOS1A::ELLENK,CABUYS \nSubj: RE: Rod's Poem\n\nEllen,\n\nThanks for your dmail about Rod's poem. Hope you don't mind but\nI forwarded a copy of it to him.\n\n\nI do have to admit I had some reservations about it and about my \"public\"\nstatement of my feelings toward him. \n\nI've become more aware than ever before of the difficulty of handling a sig\nof this nature. Tho managing any sig is a job of devotion and love,\nmanaging one that deals with an \"intangible\" is only much more complicated.\n\nBUT I don't plan to give up! <grin> I will always believe it's a sig\npeople want and that can be beneficial.\n\nTalk to you soon!\n\n<hugs>\n-Connie\n\n\nMAIL> \n\n #2 15-SEP-1985 12:01:05 MAIL\n\nFrom: BOS1A::CABUYS \"CONNIE\"\nTo: BOS2A::TSBJR,CABUYS \nSubj: RE: MEMBERSHIP\n\nHi Tom!\n\nWelcome to Close Encounters Sig!

It costs $22 for 1 year. They accept Mastercard\nVisa, AMEX. Address is Link-Up, 143 Old Marlton Pike, Medford, New\nJersey 08055, phone #609-654-6266. You can also call that number for getting\na faster action on subscriptions.\n\nThis newspaper format replaced a magazine of the same name that\ndiscontinued publication a while back.\n\nHope this helps. Sure am sorry to hear that getting mags are so difficult in\nyour area! <grin>\n\nBy the wqay, this one would most likely not be found on magazine racks anyway.\n\n<hugs>\n-Connie\n\n\nMAIL> read nremail\n\nFolder NREMAIL does not exist\n\n\nMAIL> read newmail\n\n #1 15-SEP-1985 12:20:11 NEWMAIL\n\nFrom: BOS1A::CABUYS \"CONNIE\"\nTo: FRIED,CABUYS \nSubj: good old \/send isn't working again so....\n\nhere it is: \"Hi Bob!\" \n\n\nMAIL> read 1\n\n #1 15-SEP-1985 12:20:42 NEWMAIL\n\nFrom: BOS1A::FRIED \"Bob Fried\"\nTo: BOS1A::CABUYS\nSubj: RE: good old \/send isn't working again so....\n\nHahaha.

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":29382,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[2913,2042,2362,2914],"class_list":["post-29381","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":"https:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29381","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29381"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29381\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29382"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.megalextoria.com\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
