UTAKZ!!!!!

I found Neowin through my brother..... UTAKZ. As many on this board already know Utakz or Benjimen Lucas died on January 13th 2007 in his apartment of smoke Inhalation...... The Apartment building fire also took the lives of his and my other two siblings ...our sister Angel (17) and brother Quentin (14). I only know that BEn loved to use this site among many other and to share his knowledge of computers to others. Many people associated with this site he considered friends and they also thought well of him. As I read through old blogs and post of yours I noticed the reations of his death among members and how it affected you..... If you knew him I would love for you to contact me. I have had such a hard time with this..... but to know anythign or memories you may have of my brother would mean the world to me.

Much Luv

God Bless UTAKZ

This newbie found you through one of many links at KezNews.net, another fine forum. Why did I register? What compelled me to give neowin.net tons of personal information? A bit of curiosity mixed with a little masochism, I suppose. Oh, and then there's the "I'm bored!" factor.

maybe google or another searching-service. however i can still remember the reason, i was trying to get some new visual styles for windows xp. :D
