Exactly WHO did start alt.rave? You say Brian "found out" about alt.rave.
I may have been on the net, but not very active in Usenet, so I missed the
CALL FOR VOTES or whatever was required to get alt.rave started. I'm curious
of net-rave history. What events took place to get alt.rave and the
net-scene started?
And I agree, the rave email lists *are* a briliant idea. But I hardly ever
see any Texas raves posted on SERAVES! :(

What I don't understand is why people prefer CB over IRC?

Due to his GREAT part in creating a structure for the net-rave culture!
Has there been any DIRECT references to Brian as a coordinator of the net-
rave scene in any magazine?

Wow, does he get paid?!!!!???
As a candidate for a Bachelor's in Computer Science, I feel like I know little
compared to the competition out there! But if there's people paying for easy
online maintenance jobs out there, I need one! Or several! :)
