An excellent observation, and one that has been hard
for me to adjust
to. My memories of dialing BBSes are fond because using a BBS wasn't
always trivial, so the people you met via BBSes had to have at least a
base level of intelligence in order for you to meet.
I suppose that depends on which BBS you used; around Utah, the biggest
BBS was a multi-line chat system called "Lower Lights" and believe me
the minimum intelligence level needed to get on that system was pretty
low.
