Pardon the snips to Gilli's post, but to comment on a few things....

Definitely check the OP....It's a good way to keep from recommending them
for something they already have (AoA probably the most common to either get
duplicated, or neglected if someone gets another armigerous award before
they get an AoA)

I've written a couple recs and while having all the info is nice, it's not
necessary most of the time.  Copying your local nobility helps too, as they
can then forward their own comments to your recommendation, which can add
some more substance to your recommendation.  While the crown might not know
me from Adam, they should know my landed baron/ess.

People have mundane names???  I must have missed that day in orientation!

Cheers folks and hope you all are having a good New Year so far!
