A summary for those that haven’t been keeping up with this series:
I found a number of 5.25″ disks at a thrift store a number of years ago. I finally got around to acquiring a 5.25″ disk drive and extracting the contents a while back. Since then I have been posting the contents here.
Based on the contents, at least some of these disks were apparently once owned by someone named Connie who used to run the “Close Encounters” Special Interest Group (SIG) on Delphi in the mid 1980s.
A specific definition of this SIG was found in a document on one of the disks: “This SIG, known as ‘Close Encounters’, is a forum for the discussion of relationships that develop via computer services like the Source, CompuServe, and Delphi. Our primary emphasis is on the sexual aspects of those relationships.”
This service was text based and was accessed via whatever terminal program you used on your computer to dial in to Delphi’s servers. Many of these disks have forum messages, e-mails and chat session logs. All of this is pre-internet stuff and I don’t know if there are any archives in existence today of what was on Delphi in the 1980s. In any case, much of this stuff would have been private at the time and probably wouldn’t be in such archives even if they existed.
This post includes the contents of DM1027.DOC dated October 27th, 1985. It appears to be an e-mail reading session. At the top is a list of the messages, who they are from and to, the date and the subject. Below that is the contents of all of the mail. There are 64 messages.

Subj: I love you!!!
The weekend was too perfect. It stills hurts so much to be away from you.
I've tried all day to get my mind onto other things, to find something of
interest to keep me busy, but it's an impossible task.
Your teddy bear kept me company all night long and I haven't done that in ages!
I remember all the beautiful things from this weekend and deep down I really
feel good and happy about that. But I feel something that's difficult to put
into words - something like an overwhelming longing for us to be together, to
get on with *our* life, to continue making as many beautiful memories for each
other as we possibly can <even when we both know that it can't and won't be *all* so perfect as has been!>
Enough of this! I want the feeling that was there when you told me I was
*sparkling* to be there now and I don't know how to recapture that.
Perhaps - in time.....
Until then, I love you and I will always love you!
Love,
Connie

Subj: reply to WILL1 regarding age question
Willie,
According to the membership agreement, this sig is open to those over the age
of 18. There are a variety of reasons behind this decision.
I personally have no objection to your being there. However I do have a
contract with Delphi that says the sig is for those over 18.
What I plan to do, if there is enough interest expressed by those under 18,
is to set up several sections in the sig that will be for them only. We
would need someone of that age group to sort of manage that section. That
someone would have to understand that I am the sig manager <in other words, the boss!><smile> and it would be up to that section manager to keep things
moving in the forum as well as try to get as many eligible members into the
sig for that section.
Until that is established, I have no choice but to abide by the terms of my
contract with Delphi, which says that if I discover someone under the age of
18, I restrict their access to the sig. Your age was discovered by the
Profile you posted.
I don't doubt your intelligence or knowledge. Unfortunately that can't change
things right now.
If you are interested in running a section for those under 18, please let me
know. I would also need to know the following:
1. The user names of 20 people currently on line under the age of 18 who tell
you they are interested in supporting such a section within this sig.
2. What name you would like to give to the section.
3. Six words that identify the section: examples could be - Under 18, kids
only, teenagers, terms like that.
4. I would need a list of topics that you would post within the forum section
for discussion by your group with examples of the first messages written out,
ready to post.
5. After I had this, I would have to get in touch with Delphi's sig
administrator and have him make the necessary changes within the sig here for
the new section, etc.
If you are not interested in running the section and know someone who is, please
have them contact me.
Thank you.

Subj: RE: missed again!
Sweetheart,
I do wish you had called me at the office. I miss you so much and want to
hear your voice!
I got up at 8 AM on Sat., took a jacket to be altered, took the car thru the
car wash, then got to work about 10 am. I was able to get most of what I
wanted to accomplish done, but when my boss came in around noon, there was
a lot of interruption in his efforts to "help" me with something. sigh.
I left the office and got home about 4:30, bringing a *lot* of work home with
me to do on the computer here. I worked on that until 3 minutes before
conference time, then logged on for the conference.
I sent to John that you had left me a list of questions for the conference.
Then I made an open comment to the same effect. Both comments were
ignored and I was so aggravated with him and so exhausted it was all I could
do to stay til the end of the conference. He just seemed so unaware that
I had said something about your questions twice - and I wish I knew why he
was so distracted at that particular time.
I got up at 8 AM Sunday, took laundry to the laundromat, naturally had to
have trouble with two of the machines which weren't working right which caused
me to be there longer than I had hoped. I brought the wet laundry home to
dry, then had to go to the ATM, Zayre's to pick up some things, to grocery
store for Cokes, and filled the car up with gas.
For some time now, I've been looking for a place that I could use to teach
Dennis how to drive. I found such a place when I was returning home from
the errands. As soon as we had put stuff away, I told Dennis to get ready to
go with me but would not tell him where we were going! <i'm learning to be like you!><grin> He was so curious!
We got there and I pulled up, stopped the car, and asked him what he knew about
driving. He always told me he knew how but once on the spot the truth came out.
Anyway he had his first driving lesson which lasted about an hour before we
returned home. He did quite well actually and we both felt great about it!
Sunday's will probably be on the only time we can use this area but that should
do for a while. I can't believe I actually did this! Do you have any idea
what that means to me?!?!?!
Then I returned to working on stuff from the office since Delphi was not up
and running. sigh. I had planned to do so
much on line today but it will now have to wait. I'm rapidly approaching the po
int of total exhaustion!
I love you and miss you so much! I even tried once to call the office hoping
you would be there. sigh. I can only hope that you can call soon!
I love you!!!!!
Love,
Connie

Subj: reply to letter from arne
Actually, I was a bit at fault in not simply letting the matter ride.
However, a simple number would have been preferred.
As for the age limit, we well know the problems in that regard but
are none the less responsible for seeing that 'to the best of our
abilities' we enforce them.
Why bother? Very simple. If we fail to make the attempt, then we can have
trouble from those parents who don't want 'us' exposing their kids to
(possibly) sexually related material. It could become a problem.
Of course we should be on speaking terms. Damn poor sig manager I'ld
be if I let something so trivial interfere with members and their
abilities to communicate. (especially with the management).

Subj: age
~GGee, John, this has really gotten out of hand. On that infamous noghtight it
wasn't my intention to antagonize anyone -- I honestly (if misguidedly)
thought my jokes about age were at leaast mildly amusing, and was stunned
when y'all took such a hard-liner approach to the matter. Naturally I was
hurt at being snubbed, and dashed off a couple of irate letters-to-the-
editor, but all this public apologies stuff -- well, it's just so unnecessary.
As far as age limits in the sig , well the present set-up has y'all trying
to enforce rules which any reasonably intelligent 11-year-old could circumvene,
so why bother?
I hope we're at least approaching speaking terms.

Subj: Love send
My Beloved Darling Connie,
Here I go again!, but this poem is OBVIOUSLY a PRIVATE one!:
At first there was only a few words on a screen,
And even those were only occasionally seen.
Then I sent questions of panic on the phone.
Oh how could I have possibly known,
That after meeting face to face,
My heart would pound at such a pace,
And that a person who was once a curiousity,
Would become the focus of my very destiny.
Love and life have shown me what now must be my destiny,
And what endless love and happiness will soon be given to me.
But there are yet some commitments and decisions to be made,
And some pain and prices to be paid.
When all of that is finished and done,
A love lasting the rest of my life will be won.
I know you are feeling the pain of waiting,
But our life together will be worth the getting.
I cannot now be all you would have me to be,
But when that day comes you will have ALL of me!
Darling, I risk such enormous pain for both of us in refering to these things
but I can no longer deny my feelings although I don't know if it will be by
discovery or resolve that these things will come to be but I admit and await
our destiny!!!
With all of me I love you,
Rod

Subj: list
My Dear Connie,
The last couple of conferences have dealt with sexual positions and I have
followed the discussions very closely but for several reasons could not put my
thoughts and experiences together concisely enough nor can I enter data fast
enough or even tell it to you fast enough to keep up with the pace of the
conferences so I am formulating several lists and messages which might via the
forum or articles be of help to the SIG, its conferences, or its membership in
the future discussions.
The first of these is the following list of coital positions that I have
experienced with varying degrees of success. This list does not contain
positions for oral sex, anal sex, mutual masterbation, or manual / digital
<finger not computer> stimulation, nor does it include the advantages or
disadvatages of the positions listed but if I can develope the courage all of
those lists and references will soon follow.
I hope that when seen this list will make everyone aware that the positions
are variations and many of them are actually very common, others in the list
are NOT real common and usually are related to some event, occassion, or
circumstance.
Afterall Life itself is filled with variations and often those variations are
the beauties, treasures, or 'flowers' of life!
ENOUGH!! - Now the List!:
Position Woman's Position Man's Position Relative Positions
________ ______________________ _____________________ __________________
1 Lying on back Horizontal above Face to face
2 " " " " " " " " " " Opposite(Head-toe)
3 " " " side Beside Face to face
4 " " " " " " (Forming 'X') Back to face
5 " " / kneeling over Kneeling Man behind Woman
6 Sitting/Kneeling atop Lying on back Facing

8 Squatting over " " " " Facing

Note: Positions 17 & 18 are limited but what a way to end a mutual shower!!

Subj: RE: dumpted!
Sweetheart,
It was difficult for me to talk anyway when you and John were on line but
only because Chuck kept wondering in and out of the room. sigh.
I called John just a little while ago. Peg is away this weekend <she had not told me about this because we don't talk stu>; also last night some kids
egged his house and car and put dirt into gas tank of car.
I should have realized that Peg was away - that's when he always comes on to me
or as you say "chasing my body".
Unfortunately I was quickly informed that I had called at not too good a time
because it was time for 'Airwolf' on TV. oh well.
Rod, I love them both very much, but obviously they can't be there for me when
I need them and I can't be there for them if/when they need me. I value their
friendship very very much, yet see that I'm losing it and I don't really know
how to recover it.
Guess we'll <you and i> will be talking soon about this again.
Love,
Connie

Sweetheart,
This is going to sound very strange and it's not something I want you to make
a big fuss over but if I tell you about it it will help me to deal with it.
Strange as it seems, I feel rejection just because John acted as tho watching
Airwolf on TV was more important than talking to me. He said we could talk
later tonight or tomorrow and I agreed, but I *really* wanted to talk then.
Am I being foolish? selfish? inconsiderate of him? or what?
Am I going to feel the same way when you have something to do at a time when
I want to talk to you?
I certainly hope not! I don't like the way I feel right now!
But I do know one thing -
I love you very very much!
Love,
Connie

#2 - sounds interesting enough but I just can't picture it - very will to give
it a try tho.
#3 - never experienced this but willing to try
#4 - I think you know how I feel about this one! <grin>
#5 - *if* this is one we tried before, I want very much to try it again! <grin>
#6 - would take a lot of work to get me ready for this one, dear.
#7 - same as #6
#8 - same as #6
#9 - kinda like floating around in the water, huh? <grin> can't imagine us
doing it but wish we could!
#10 - wish we could try this too
#11 - willing to give this a try once or twice before I can say much more about
it
#12 - same as #11
#14
13 - same as #11
#14 -
definitely willing to try this and soon!
#15 - not really interested in trying this - I don't trust the table to hold
the weight.
#16 - same as #14
#17 - don't think I'd handle this very well at all.
#18 - same as #17

Subj: hi
Dear Peggy,
I had planned to call you this weekend for a long chat but for obvious reasons
can't.
I am so very sorry that we are both so uncomfortable with each other these days
that we can no longer share what is important to us. If I am being too
sensitive or selfish about this, please forgive me.
We were always able to talk things out together before this. I really do need
to do that now. I also need to talk about Rod, to share with you and John
both about what is going on in my life. But I can't do that either, until
you and I have this behind us.
I really want you to know that I still care very much about you and that we are
still friends. I do miss you so!!

Connie

sex positions & me
From: CABUYS To: ALL
This is a tough one for me to share, but I'm going to give it my best.
The conferences we've had here on sexual positions have lead to a lot
of discussion between my lover and I, as well as some experimenting.
He has tactfully pointed out to me that I don't like certain positions
because I don't want to be put into the position of having to be the
one responsible for the success of such.
Although I've presented him with a number of reasons why certain
positions don't work for me or appeal to me, he's sure it is because
of my lack of confidence. He's also very sure that we will work
together to overcome this.
What I'd like to hear from others here is why you *don't* like certain
positions or why they don't work for you?
(Honestly, I'm not looking for *new* reasons to add to my list, but it
would be comforting to know that others might have similar
likes/dislikes or problems.)
Anyone willing to give this a try?

they are but I thought the MAIN reason was the fear on your part about having th

If I conveyed to you that I thought you lack of confidence was the only reason
then I am 'undermining' your confidence and not helping it and I would NEVER wan

RE: sex positions & me (Re: Msg 305)
From: RODM To: CABUYS (NR)
WOW!
You are presenting a chalanging question!
I guess the first thing that comes to mind that I would share is that anything
as intimate as sexual positions must be the mutual adventure of BOTH partners
and never be something imposed by one on the other.
The next thing is that whatever objection one partner has to a particular sexual
position, act, or anything shared that objection should be recognized as a valid
one and that objection answered by BOTH and an agreement hopefully reached!
Now for the question as to positions NOT liked.
I am going to NOT be specific but say that there several positions I find
unfavor
able for reasons of discomfort, <physical and psychological> not expressive of
love and passion, or just not possible for me to perform!
In all of the cases above I feel justified in my objections and trust my partner
will be respective of my objections.
In my history such objections were sometimes NOT respected and that can cause
something that may be between or a combination of humiliation and pain to my
person or ego.
I hope I NEVER cause that discomfort for my Love!
I hope that posses some answer or support for you and anyone else.

Honey,
You have in no way undermined my confidence. If you had, that particular
message would never have been posted.
Granted, I know me well enough to know that I lack confidence in a lot of
areas but since you've entered my life, my confidence has increased in so
many ways that I'm not even sure you understand all the changes that have
occurred within me!
I was so worried about posting that message, thinking that you might object
because I had taken something very personal and intimate between us and
"gone public" with it. I hoped that I had worded the message in the right
way to convey only the fear I have of being in the 'principle' role.
And you did hit the nail square on the head when you made that observation!
And I've acknowledged it. So with your loving help, we overcome, right?
<smile>
I do love you so very, very much!

Connie

Subj: my answer to your forum message
I've been very lucky! My partner and I have the mutual respect and love for
each other that allows us to talk about *EVERYTHING* including our deepest
feelings about the mutual adventure we are sharing.
Love, support, understanding and communication between lovers is so important
but too often we get so wrapped up in other things that this all gets put on
hold.
In this particular incident I have to admit that I *thought* I was doing very
well in keeping the real reason for objecting to various positions well hidden.
You can imagine my shock when his comment hit the nail square on the head!
Now that I've acknowledged the real reason, he and I can go on together to
hopefully overcome this.
