No, Mike. Users were BIXen.
A LONG time ago, before the days of the Internet or big online services
or even 1200 baud modems I was using variants of [0,0] turned into
[0_0] as my signature. The [0,0] form will look familiar to folks who
used VMS on VAXen. When I started using that sig on BIX it and its
variants became BIXies. 'nuf said.
