ANST - "It's Not Period"

Hi, Gunnora:

You just said something I've been wondering about:

I've heard people "approach" this idea before, but this is the best I've heard
it presented. Now, re-read the above paragraph, but in the two places where it
says "a 4th peerage", substitute "knighthood".

(waiting while our viewing audience tries this at home)

Interesting, huh?

This harkens back to the ancient argument, "A Peer is a Peer is a Peer"; i.e.,
that there is really only one Peerage, whether we choose to give different
people different titles or not. What do you think?

Yours,
Michael Silverhands
