 perhaps I'm just looking at the wrong menus.  
 
 	When Fighters improve their armor, they aren't referred to as
 Authenticity Mavens,  when a dancer  researches period dances they aren't
 referred to as Compulsively Authentic,  but when  a cook researches food
 they are? Am I out in left field on this one?

I think the question here is: are they calling me an Authenticity Cop because 
I research what I do, or are they calling me an Authenticity Cop because I 
criticize others who don't do as much research?  I had this point driven home 
to me by my Household at Coronation.  After all, if I were a fighter who 
meticulously researched my Arms and Armour, and someone else was a better 
fighter wearing Kydex armour, he'd be King, and I'd still be fighting.  

Zoe, I too missed the Lusty Month of May.  But I hope I'll see you soon at an 
event.  Do you ever come out to SunDragon fighter practice?
