I am *certain* you are right, Britta.  I'm sorry it even came up on the
Northkeep list (although it would have been nice if it had stayed there).  
You are right, everyone loves Northkeep and how they do things, and they 
love it SO much that no one EVER gets fed up and leaves, and everyone in 
the SCA is ALWAYS one big happy and loving family.  Since *obviously* 
I don't have a CLUE what I'm talking about, I'll get back to my other stuff,
and you all can go back to be mutually supportive, rather than looking to 
see if there *might* actually be a *problem* that needs to be examined.
