ANST - Award recommendation issues..

Paul Mitchell said something that sounded like:
> Pug, I appreciate your bringing this up.

Thanks. I think. *grin*

Hmm. Maybe I should state that I know what *my* concept of a "Peer" are,
but I'm trying to figure out the measuring stick everyone else is
actually using. This is why I keep talking to people about it. Without
this, I may either be having either too high or too low of expectations
for what the Order is trying to recognize. (I know I can be all too damn
idealistic regarding this.)

> You've consistently expressed them over quite a long period of time.

I'm glad I've been consistent about what I think of it. I've been
slowly growing it over time.

This is why I was asking. Since I've had discussions with Peers in
particular trying to flush out the guidelines, was it considered a
interactive recommendation?

I certainly do it for other areas, I may soon try it for Peers as well.

As do I, which is why it keeps popping up from me.
