\u201cWe were dealing with stuff like cassette duplication. . . and none of us were crazy about that. I said, \u2018Hey, why don\u2019t we do a bulletin board? Have it\u2019s so it\u2019s subscription. Anybody who\u2019s on the bulletin board won\u2019t need to get cassettes anymore, because they can just download the stuff.\u201d
