That's pretty much how I think of it (until the filthy spammers trashed 
the joint, of course, there being no authentication in those days, because 
there was no need for it; if there was a problem child, you merely picked 
up the phone or sent a short email to the site admin: end of problem[*]).

Well done, sir :-)  Perhaps we need a list for Old-Unix-Lovers-Into-Rock?

[*]
With exceptions; one ISP merely had an auto-responder on their abuse 
address ("He's gone"), but that's OT (ask me privately, if anyone cares).
