[MR] Oak publication was Re: : Re: Queen's Corner - Peerage discussion

[Becky McEllistrem]

Sorry I've been AFK and hadn't had a chance to respond to this.  Speaking as a Pearl and the Oak editor -   It is not a requirement to be published to get a Pearl.  Nor is it a guarantee that publication will automatically get you a Pearl or a Laurel.

The point is to get your knowledge out there to the rest of the world and the quickest way to do that is by web pages and newsletters etc.  I am thrilled to know that several who have published in my issues have moved up in rank.

However I do not claim credit for their work nor the fact that they moved up in rank.  That was their accomplishment.  I only helped make their knowledge of their subjects known.
