[SCA-AE] Peer Density/Dispersal was Peerage

[Rob Baldassano]

Please do not take offense...
   
  I can see that conversation now. ...
   
  "Mistress So and So, would you be so kind as to write a letter of recommendation for me and my consort lady whatshername ? 
  We want to fight for Crown"

  While in theory this might work, it's AWFULLY impersonal.
  IF I were a peer, and had not been contacted at least by phone by a person prior to receiving said missif, I would toss it in the trash as a brash and brazen act. Unchivalrous at best. 
   
  Yes e-mail does exist, and yes e-mail is used a lot in today's culture, but is it the best way to request something of such a grand nature? 
   
  --Eirik, who's agreeing to disagree on this point.

Also, there IS email. It sounds like some people are saying that they are
unable to get letters because peers live too far away...

I'm sorry but I have to ask this.

If people are intimidated by peers, why would they ever enter a Crown list?
