Wow, where did you find that gem? You must be the ultimate packrat, to have saved a text file 20 years ago and kept it.
Gosh, I couldn't tell you. I was a sysop for first the Atari forum, and then the Macintosh forum, about 8 or 9 years total. I don't think I paid for more than a couple of months before I was given sysop status, and then I had unlimited reign. I still had to pay Telenet surcharges for awhile, but then we got a local dedicated node (in Orlando, FL).
Thanks for this. I'll file it away with the rest of my memorabilia.
