[MR] Queen's Corner - Peerage discussion

[Shannon Smith]

I am encouraged to read that many Atlantians and peers feel the  
Internet is a great tool for sharing knowledge, but not a replacement  
for the more personal approach.  It is also good to read  
encouragement on sharing knowledge however one can, Internet  
included.  Those sentiments may give many the needed nudge to share  
online without being looked upon as cookie hunters.  :)

Knowing that Atlantian's are quick to point to the law, perhaps I  
aught to have clarified a small detail.  The quotes around "To be a  
peer... web page." were meant to convey a common attitude, not a  
written rule.  I'm sorry that it came across that way.

I would love to hear from some who have an SCA web page.  Do you feel  
it has reached your intended audience?  Has it been a labor of love  
or frustration?  (ie. How do you handle copyright issues?)  All in  
all, why did you do it?

Also, why don't more peers have websites if they are the ones with  
the knowledge we seek?  It seems to be mostly a trend among non-peers  
to share knowledge online.  How does the average viewer know if the  
research is worthwhile?  I would love to see more of those "in the  
know" sharing with us online as well as at events and classes.

Cheers,
Sorcha  :)
