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

[Glynis Gwynedd]

In fairness though, my Lord, it has been suggested to several people I
know that they put up a webpage with their works so the people in the
south who don't make it up north can get a feel for who they are and
what they do, otherwise they're likely to get a "no" on the polling.
And I've been told (or read) that it is a requirement to be published
in order to get a Pearl.

Mind you, I'm not a Pearl (my work is not at that level yet and I know
it!), so I don't really know how true those requirements are among the
members of that august group, but that is what I've been told (and
from some members of the Pearl, no less.)
