I am writing an article about RAB

Hello,

I am contacting everyone I can track down who was a part of RAB in
the nineties, before BME became a community site, to help me write an
article about RAB.

As a Modblog author, the one feature I enjoy doing the most is "From
The Vault". For those of you not familiar with those post, they are
based on old pictures and old stories from before Modblog began and
they are intended as a way to help educate the youngsters and remind
the rest of us where we came from.

I am going to provide a few questions/ topics to talk about. Feel free
to respond to as many or as few as you like. Also, if anyone has any
pictures from old munches or any other RAB related photos, I would
love to include them.

-Your name and/or online handle.

-What do you do for a living (then and now)?

-How did you find RAB?

-What affect did/does RAB have on your life?

-Did any of your online friends become real life friends (obviously
this is true for many, but please go into details)? Are you still
friends with any of them?

-Did you attend any munches, if so please tell us about them.

-If you do not still post on RAB, why not?

-How did RAB differ from other online body arts community sites, such
as IAM?

-One can not talk about the old RAB days without mentioning Keith
Alexander, if anyone has any stories or insights about him they would
like to share, please do.

The questions provided are just a few suggestions of topics, feel free
to add anything you like. I will be using peoples quotes and answers
as the majority of the article, so any input would be very
appreciated. Also, if you are still in contact with any nineties RAB
users who I may have not been able to track down, please feel free to
forward this to them.



Thanks for your time, and I hope to hear back from you soon.

I was. RAB was my first introduction to the bod mod community when I
was just a dumb kid getting schooled by Keith Alexander. My first
social interaction with other modified folks was a DC area RAB munch
at a Brazillian BBQ place in Rockville. When IAM was created, I
started to fade away from RAB and become more focused on BME, but I
never forgot where I started and I want to make sure this important
era in moder bod mod history, does not get forgotten.

PS: I think my emaill I was using at the time was unity(something)

I remembered your name, slightly, but for some reason it was the
lextalonis handle that pricked my memory more.

I have never been particularly interested in participating in BME, but
I have forwarded your message to some people who no longer read this
group and who might be of great use to you, if they are so inclined.
Good luck.

I've never trusted those who can't remember the name they posted
under.

And your opinion counts for shit. In ANY group you post. Now go bug
the muscle wannabes. And the scat group you so like. And that
motorcycle group that won't talk to you.

But I'm sure you're going to have your nose up the original poster's
ass. Time to reconstitute the lie about how much KA respected you.
You and locust. What a cycle.
