not to mention in several cases it's answered the "i wonder where they are 
now???" about several of my old friends from the last age that faded away 
through the years.  

also points out some new social factors about the kingdom ... it's become so 
large that it's becoming increasingly easy to get lost in the shuffle ... 
record keeping and archiving could be a *lot* better ... people are becoming 
more region-centric (a factor of growth in size and peer density ... you tend 
to know primarily your regional folk and what they do) .. and the term "active" 
is in the eye of the beholder (g) 

one thing that i would have been interested in seeing in the breakdowns, 
spcialty (if any, as has been discussed) and kingdom where that peerage was 
granted (basic curiosity about the migratory habits of the prey species ... 
oops, strike that (grin))
