[ANSTHRLD] Advice on teaching a class

[Scott Catledge]

Note that I specified "never a requirement."  I blanked out on the term
'lozenge'; 
hence my use of the term 'diamond-shaped.'

Diamond-shaped ... badge?

I suspect you mean the option for submitting -devices- on
lozenge-shaped forms?  I am aware of no kingdoms which require it for
women (and I suspect Laurel would like to hear about if there are
any).  As far as I know, all the kingdoms which have them available
generally have them available for submitters of any gender.  All badge
forms these days are square.

Not that any of this affects *display*, just sayin'.
