It was a Citadel BBS, before internet, dialup, one-customer-at-a-time. The metaphore was a castle of mansion of rooms in which we 'poets' wd leave messages, often snarky, for each other and where I felt the need to appear powerful so named myself Ficus strangulensis.
Paulauskas issued cassettes, at least one of which I [think I still] have, "How to Love the Rotting Cadaver #9" which was a recitation of computer generated text as it rolled off a screen backed by Tuvan throat singing.
Paulauskas had pieces performed by DaDa NY, wrote poetry I enjoyed and published in TRANSMOG my first publishing adventure which lasted a few years ~91-96.
About this time, I started doing cutups separating texts into ~ 4" lines and repurposing. My 'ouvre' resides now in the OSU Library Avant Writing collection c/o John M. Bennett.
I'll look for the 'rotting cadaver' tape, and if you can play cassettes, will send you one. If not, I can transfer it to mp3 but with my legendary laziness, that may not happen near-instantaneously.
Hey David - wow - Beatniks from Space, Gerry Reith (Neutron Gun), Mike Miskowski's MaLLife, Jake Berry and Outre - those are certainly ground zero for me. Great times. I'll go back in the archives and see if I can figure out who you are, as it's not ringing a bell at the moment.
Check out Borderline Grafix (TX) here at IUOMA. He is linked to some of those zines and some Neoist activities. John M. Bennett, Ficus and others are also here - probably you found them.
Hello, all! My sincere greetings to the IUOMA!
Building from a slow start... I have eight images posted. More in the next few days. Hello from North Carolina!

WOW! Just checked out the images you've posted! YOW!
I got started with W.C. ["DaDa Bill"] Paulaskas of Queens, NY in ~1991 slamming with the Lost in Wallpaper Poets on a BBS.
