I need to apologise for the fact that Jason's original post didn't make
it through to cctech for reasons unknown. However it is included in its
entirety in Ben's post below.

It's taken me far too long to get these
things prepped and posted, so
why not a holiday release? Some historical reading for your post-meal
time on the sofa:

The tl;dr version: I was given some message board dumps from one of
the original hack/phreak scene BBSes, covering a portion of its short
run in 1980-1. That led to obtaining some more, which I've cleaned up
and compiled into a PDF. I feel they're an invaluable insight into
the "state of things" back then, not to mention just a fun read. Some
familiar names in this lot...perhaps even some we know...?
Happy $holiday(*) and enjoy...
