You can thank me by letting me publish your work on my web site and in my next fanzine.

I managed to get about 95% of the html pages but only about 50% of the images. I'll clean up the files and zip/send them to you tonight. There is about 10MB of files un-zipped.

Brett.

I'm hoping to get my hands on the 80%+ of the site that still seems to exist there. If anyone can think of a way, Brett thinks he might be able to use some FTP system to DL the site in one big chunk, to as I said DL the site in one big chunk, please let me know and I'll be your best friend forever.

I'd do some research on that to see if the KB's put it out in their original 1970's publications if not I think the earliest reference of history I found was on Kevin Pittsinger's Candles Against the Night website and that was probably back in the mid 90's. Thus, if you can't find an earlier reference it's quite possible that Kevin came up with the history and not the Keith Brothers.

Quite often you can find things date stamped on line. Most lists have archives and most fanfic authors typically run their ideas past other fans as they're creating things.

It lists all the official publications that came out before the RDSSB, and I think I have most of these, so I can use those to cross check the data.
