ANST - The P-word

[Timothy A. McDaniel]

Ah, now I see Sie Die John Smith's point: population growth means
more events Ansteorra-wide, hence more events A-w, hence more
conflicts, hence more regionalism, hence a need for the P-word.
Thanks for clarifying that, Sir.  And now I'd like to marlinspike
the topic, sew it into a hammock, drop two large cannonballs in
the sack, and shove it over the side into blue water.

*Has* population grown, though?  I think SCA membership has been static
for several yeasr (tho $35 full membership per year may have something
to do with it; I just wrote a renewal check, and that plus first-class
plus Complete Anachronist plus the BoD minutes set me back $72).
Didn't I hear something about Ansteorran paid membership dropping,
to where people were starting to worry about long-term status?

Now population = members + non-members.  Has the non-member
population grown?  My impression from Steppes and Bryn Gwlad is
that they're basically static.  They are not typical groups, though.
