Remembering Smile Research Laboratories

The whole job incident got me thinking about how this board started (the phoenix of The Smile Shop) and then I had the vague recollections of The Smile Research Laboratory, which is where alot of discussion took place in the days where even the mention of the word "Smile" on Brian's website would get a reprimand. Anyone remember those good old days of Smiling from the shadows?
*apologies if I got the name of the group wrong, but Im pretty sure thats what it was called.

I recall it well. I also recall that the founder - April, although there was some debate as to his/her true gender - had a total meltdown and trashed the site.

Oh yes I totally forgot about the meltdown! Wasn't it from those ashes rose the Smile Shop?

Was this site up around 1998-99? Mp3 downloads of Smile Mixes? If so, it was my first listening experience of SMiLE material.
There was such a site around that time and I'm curious if this was it.

That was the first place that I heard
Landlocked
and
Adult Child
as well as many other rarities and helped solidify my fandom. I never have actually purchased a BB bootleg but that site got me buying all of the 2-fers, etc.

April (or whomever) also had a mailing list called 'Lil' Smiley Cabin'. I think it was through Yahoo. Maybe not, although I was on the list.
For awhile, people bounced around the idea that 'April' was actually being played by Brad Elliot.

perhaps that's why he's so hard to find now; he's had a sex change and is known as April Elliot?

I bought a t-shirt once. Come to think of it, I bough a cassette of Salute NASCAR from a truck stop for very cheap.
