[Steppes] Awfully Quiet out there...

[Ron Hardy]

This is a big decision and should be thought about carefully. I think
it's a bit premature for those interested in applying to be announcing
on the list. Or perhaps they're also interested in becoming the next
governor of California and are waiting for the phone call from Leno to
announce there.

Also thank you all for your kind words on the list.

Fritz

What also might be noted is (my understanding) that the petition should
already be in the hands of the Crown, Baron(ness), and any other
necessary officer(s) before posting to any list.  Being that the Crown
is at Pensic, this might be one of the more obvious reasons noone has
posted intent.

Karolus has posed a very good question, however I would belive it shall
not be answered quickly. 

With all due respect to our beloved Baron & Baroness they will be a very
hard act to follow and we are not likely to see a rushed grab for the
brass hats in this Barony. Steppes is a large Barony with many factors
& factions to consider, most likely our best candidates shall end up
needing to be encourged and convinced to make that application.

But I can assure you that off line tongues are a wagging!
