So I  just read about 75 emails from this list and have gained only a 
fraction of  knowledge from all of these posts. To recap what I have learned:

1.  Circlets for all...bad
2. Don't top post
3. Insurance dosen't really  insure anything but confusion
4. I can leave or stay "since" it is my  choice "or " so I hope

WOW, anybody got ANYTHING medieval to talk  about?






You missed the fact that knights and squires or heralds (not sure which)  are 
for some reason similar to blind pigs and snuffle out either acorns or  
truffles (we aren't sure if they know which)
 
and
 
squires will do tricks for biscuits (or so we hear)
 
 
In such a voluminous load of postings, it is important to pay attention to  
the humor and often educational as well.   
 
I, for one, am going to bring good biscuits to the next event where I am in  
need of basket trundling and other small chores.  
 
I am also going to see if I can get hold of some good truffles and perform  
some experiments to see if it is possible to encourage knights and squires to  
have more discerning noses or if we will have to admit that blind pigs are  
superior in at least this one area.  
 
Of course I want truffles since I am of the cooking persuasion.  Those  of 
the scribal persuasion might prefer knights/squires/heralds/pigs? whose noses  
are better tuned to the acorn and/or oak galls.
 
Which leads to the even more obvious questions of 
 
1.  Can squires/heralds/etc be "trained" at all, especially trained to  use 
their noses?
 
2.  Can an old knight be taught new tricks?
 
3.  Do knights have noses?  (of the working variety?)  if  so, do they know 
how to turn them off during and just after fighting?   (inquiring other noses 
want to know)  
 
4.  Can we think up any more silly questions concerning knights,  noses, 
squires, pigs, heralds, or any other grouping?
 
Ahhhhh,  obviously had enough morphine for the day haven't I?
