[Steppes] precedence reminder - gentle humour

[Catalina Damiana Saravia Quicedo de Xerez]

With no offense meant to the Honorable Lord, but when this conversation 
comes up I am always reminded of a quote from Miss Manners. She says "If 
someone introduces himself as Mister John Post, you can be sure that is the 
highest title he possesses. To simply introduce yourself as Isabella 
Bourbon, leaves so many interesting possibilities.".
