[Ansteorra] RE: Pirates, Privateers, etc...

[Robin Lindsey]

This small thought occurred to me while reading the posts:  What did
Privateers do when they didn't have Letters of Marque?  There had to be
times when business was slow, and with piracy being a hanging offense,
well, what did they do?
I'm throwing this out there becasue if you're not a Privateer since you
have no letter, and Pirate is inaccurate (and apparently distasteful), then
what?
