Brangwayna, could I be so gauche as to ask you to identify this person privately (SCA-Cooks begins to chant, sing-song, "Somebody's gonna get a new and painful sphincter!"). I mean, what _really_ is the good of being a laurel and your kingdom MoAS if you can't crush such bugs?


Of course, the irony is, in part, that the East _has_ no kingdom-level
A&S competitions, so one wonders how both this laurel and I, for that
matter, could have managed to do anything that counts as encouragement
of A&S endeavor...
