I saw most of the ladies with TVI and Private Connection, which is where I first met first Gia Stevens.
The TVI ladies seemed to turn faster than the PC ladies.

Wasn't the WSG headed up by Dick O'Stone or was he just the most frequent/prolific poster?

Also, on the history of the uusenet groups, I think it was originally alt.sex.prostitution. Then alt.sex.prostitution.discussio n. Shortly after alt.sex.prostitution.discussio n was formed, the use of the [ASPD] header began to be used to make it easy to separate real discussion from spam. Then, and only then, did alt.sex.prostitution.xxcity groups come out like alt.sex.prostitution.dallas and alt.sex.prostitution.dallas.di scussion. The latter didn't really prosper because that was the time frame in which web based sites began to take over from uusenet.

Also, don't forget worldsexguide.org which was one of the earliest Web based, internationally focused discussion boards. I'm trying to remember the user/admin who shepherded it through it's early days. Atta, I believe? There was lots of mystery around who he really was. Seems like he started up this site around 1998 or so.

DOS wasn't associated with WSG. He was a local guy...I don't thing WSG had any kind of local ownership connection.

How about Sandy's nude modeling Studios ? Thats where I had my first hobby experience back in 1975, or so. Off Belmont and Greenville.

In the 90's there was one off Walnut Hill and HH called the Tigers Den ? A woman named Laura ( Lori ) ran it, and there was a wonderful Carolinian gal ( Betsy (?))there who was simply marvelous. I think Laura ( Lori ) had something to do with starting up NVA. But now, I might be mistaken, A hmm hmm hmm.

when I was living in the Midwest early last year, the website that was used a lot by both clients and providers and is available for Texas as well was:

http://www.escorts.com/index.asp

I saw a few ladies from there, but their definition of GFE was different of what we think about it down here.

I am amazed at how the ladies find and then keep up with all the sites their pics appear on ... LOL!
