RE: Atlantia and a small challenge

Greetings, Mi'lord Gregory,

I hope this missive finds you and yours well.

I go, on the average, to a couple of events a month.  All over our
Kingdom and occasionally to other Kingdoms.  I don't tend to stay in my
local area and just play locally.  I have, unfortunately, not had
opportunity to attend a "Town Faire," so I cannot address this.

What I would like to know is:  Why are you having such a conniption over
the thought of a Kingdom level A&S event that is not a University?  An
event that in no way detracts from Univeristy, but allows a venue for
people to show off what they have learned in University or through their
own research.  An event that I feel to be entirely complimentary to our
wonderful system of Universities, Collegiums and local A&S nights.  

I personally know of many other Kingdoms that have similar events and
they in no way threaten their Universities and Collegiums.  I am getting
the feeling that I am speaking treason for just suggesting the idea.

I mean no disrespect when I ask this, but I am greatly concerned that
such a simple suggestion has raised such great ire and would like to
know from whence it springs.

YIS
