Hey as a former herald for Crossorde Keep and its current Seneschal;
can I make a quick point here about this idea/suggestion of "Do it or
else!!!"

Some groups,  Shire and smaller have the choice of not having a herald as a
local officer.   Should the Heralds office have a major brainfart and go
ahead and do something this extreme. It will just make the pool of
individuals in these smaller groups willing to be Local Branch Heralds even
smaller, if not Non-existent. which means less heralds to do ANY work for
said groups.

I've noticed that most people tend to stray away from things that are most
likely to end up biting them in the rear when they least expect it or
because they dropped the ball due to more pressing matters.

The Idea of having the Court Herald be responsible for the Report makes more
sense and more do-able then any other suggestion to date.

Ok stepping off the soapbox for someone else.
