Good for you. I wish more heralds would learn things like that. It seems though
that there often seems to be a shortage of good field heralds. It maybe that
that early in the morning some folks just have trouble picking up the combat
quarrels instead of the ones with target points, you know fuzzy thinking and all.
In the interest of recruiting more heralds and perhaps keeping some of the
current ones from getting culled, I recently added this, rather good, article on
field heraldry to the HERALDRY section in the Florilegium:

Field-Herldry-art (48K)  6/ 9/02    "Field Heraldry" by H.L. Alden Pharamond.

http://www.florilegium.org/files/HERALDRY/Field-Herldry-art.html

Feel free to forward this to any heralds you think might learn from this article or any folks that you think might be good heraldic candidates.
