[SCA-AE] An odd question

[Philip Edward Lewis]

Hey Folks!
An update on the AEthlemearc.org thread.
Jethro sent this to me and asked me to push it to the list.
Some commentary included. (and BCCed to him)

Well, the originator of the thread, Donnan, does hang out with 
"The Lost Boys" a good bit... so perhaps they rubbed off on him.

I'm sure the result was more confusion/amusement than anything.
If anything, it gives folks a chance to see your name and remember you
great deeds.  Know that you're always welcome in AEthELmearc, and
we'll be waiting for your return...(tries to look meanacing, but
acieves goofy. ;)
