The joy of having a landline without caller ID and running like crazy to be the first to grab that brick just to find out that maybe the next phone call might actually be for me, good times

Nobody needed a pseudonym back then.

You could just speak your mind openly and always write your real name to it, and it was THE NORMAL thing to do.
