I'm afraid I miss your reference my good gentile.  By "you" do you mean me
personally?  I wish I could claim to live for over 400 years.

Do you mean the Kitty Hawk?  If you are referring the major charge in the
Barony of Windmasters' heraldry, I must admit that I think we are the first.
I think that the idea was that we should strive to make our own name, and
not ride on the cow tails of some other piece of stereotyped mascot.

And I ask you what is so interesting about cows in period?  Were they doing
something that they aren't doing today, which seems to be chewing grass and
widening the ozone hole.

P.S. Atlantia, I hope that this has entertained you so far.  If we have
amused you, pick a side and join in on the fun.  So far this has all been in
good humor, and I hope it will continue as such.
