Gentle friends,

While I was not the one who wrote to complain about Ms. Cosby's notes, I
confess I was concerned about them but on another front:

Aiee!  While there are occasional scholars among us, on specific topics,
the average SCAjun knowledge (particularly on some of the questions that
have come up) is sufficiently pitiful that I wouldn't consider this
*research* except in a generic way.  Consider it - for our competitions
we wouldn't consider 'I heard it on the Atlantia List' to be
documentation, would we???
