Small town? With 3 or 4 prefixes?? That's a contradiction in terms. The
town i live in still only has one prefix. THAT's a small town. A town of
40,000 is not small.

What can I say? it was a small town, with only 3-4 prefixes at the time.
Most weeknights after supper, there were people on there, as well as late
at night on non-school nights. In many ways, much like anonymous chat
sites are now- voices were pretty garbled, so lots of slamming people and
spreading rumors. I mainly lurked. I wouldn't hang on there for hours
(multiple siblings wanting to make or expecting calls would have killed
me), but phone was in the hall, so on the way back from the can, I'd pop
on there and see if there were any voices, and if the subject matter was
interesting. Kinda like nosy neigbors used to do on party lines. One time,
I was talking to a young lady that lived a ways out of town, and I used
some Bad Words, and caught an earful from her old neighbor lady that liked
to listen in.
