No, what I was saying is that I've used online services such as GEnie
and Delphi but I continue to use an online service like them today
which happens to be Syndicomm.

Actually, GEnie might still exist, I don't really know.  I dropped
them after things broke down years ago.  Delphi still exists and I do
drop into the Apple II forums there a few times a month just to see if
there is anything happening but it is all web based now and I have yet
to see a good web based message system and trying to do chat in a web
page is just ridiculous.
