I first posted to Usenet in 01992, but Bandygrams were in the early 01980s. For a number of years, it was possible to read early Usenet via DejaNews and then Google Groups, but that does not work well anymore, so if you missed out on reading early 80s Usenet, it may be quite a while before you find out what a Bandygram is.
