(g) but of course he does ... as does everyone else in equal measure, as it 
should be.  just helps to widen their perceptions and remind them of that fact 
now and again

some people go out of their way to meet everyone,  some hold back and meet 
people selectively.  self belongs to that type.  i know the person who took 
such seeming exception to my existence by face & name, but to date have had no 
reason to introduce self to them, nor have they been part of the circles i walk 
in ... dos'nt necessarily mean i don't exist (hint: look around for the large 
harley with the wolf-head's on the tanks and i'm around somewhere ...).

gotta pass this whole thread to some of my breathren that "crossed to the west" 
... they would find the thread hilarious.  if anyone questions membership 
status, got several box's of TI's, Black Star's, and other old member 
periodicals only available to members ... a good 25 years of them.  also 
remembers when BG was young and struggling ...

for several years, took that one step farther and "played" primarily outside 
kingdom when i had SCAdian riding bro's who convinced me of the enjoyment of 
*long* tourney/event runs on the harley's ... what it all boils down to, you 
make your own place in the SCA that is meaningful to *you*, not necessarily 
convenient or even understandable to others.
