Unto the Tavern, Greetings!

I play so very infrequently with SCAdia that I try to remain silent 
on this list, but I have followed the discussion about "crash space" 
assiduously.  As a veteran of the Sixties (who fought without any 
steenkin' authorization using a Freon helm and carpet armor), I 
should say that I am entirely in favor of the return of "crash space" 
as a working and routine concept.  It will absolutely increase the 
number  of people who can afford to attend events, which can only 
benefit the Society.

The "rules" posted by Her Excellency are absotively dead spot on.  I 
commend them to you.
