I don't think there would be the same tone to many of these postings IF
the individuals in question would show who "THEY" are.  So, until I hear
something different, I have to assume it is coming from the crown and

Ansteorra's lack of a principality was a BOD member at Pennsic who found
it curious we did not have one.
