Subject: Re: jumping into the fray...

Siubhan asks who came up with the Central Principality idea. It's
actually an interesting question -- does anyone know? I remember when
the idea was first propounded: it was at the really muddy S&M, at a
fairly large Principality meeting.  The idea came from a lady I didn't
know, and was *very* well-recieved at the time. I don't know who the
lady was, though, and the historian in me is rather curious...

I recall Sebastien coming up with a rather nice suggestion, but I
can't for the life of me remember what it was. I've never much cared
for "Vinland", but that's probably largely because my persona is a
*very* far cry from Norse...
