Fidonet all the way, baby .... I ran a BBS for many years. I think I still
have the 386 it was running on when I finally shut it down. WildCat BBS from
Mustang Software. Those were the days.
CIS 75500,3223, that was me. However, 16 of the 17 hits of a Google search for
my old ID are messages on this list from 2008 ;-)

I remember being excited when I had a "real" email address of
75500.3...@compuserve.com ... I had some really neat software for reading
forums -- OzCIS -- and eventually OzCIS for Windows, which never really
measured up to the DOS program.
Never had a Prodigy address. I got an AOL address -- a couple of them,
actually -- this year so I could support home-clients with AOL issues, and for
IM purposes. Never use them, though.
