More than once at Pennsic this year I had to explain that my brain has
never really adapted to the new rules. As a baby herald, I learned to
conflict check against Papworth and had just embedded the rules in my
brain. Then I got into name research, graduated college, and changed
kingdoms 3 times - all in the space of about a year. Real Life had
exploded. When I got back into heraldry, the group I was in needed name
heralds and, so, by the time I could start getting caught up on armory, I
found my brain just doesn't want to count in anything other than points and
half-points. Sigh.
Actually, the truly scary thing is some of the old LoIs. Right now, I'm
scanning my archive so I can recycle the hardcopies. Lately I've been
looking at West LoIs from 1982 or so...
