[Ansteorra-archery] New To The List....

[Bob Dewart]

Since when is pub.published on line an acceptable way of disseminating new
regulation?  Oh ya I forgot that APD trash.  Well that stuff has never been
published here and I don't think in the TI either.  So if on line is such a
great thing why do changes in Kingdom law have to be published in the
Kingdom newsletter.

I maintain it's what in black and white that has been published an
distributed via the mail that counts.  On line is, perhaps convenient, but
it isn't law unless there is a hard copy of it signed by the Crown, Earl
Marshal and Kingdom Seneschal.  Any thing else is just amusing fiction that
you can't hold anyone to.

Is it getting warm in here?
