under the carpet and this seems to be done on a regular basis. By ignoring
his errors, the feelings of security in the work of Douglas Richardson
continues to be undermined. Is the safest place for his book on a bookshelf
next to Roderick Stuart's?

Dear Newsgroup ~
When I first started posting to the newsgroup, I had no idea what a
large number of pantywaists populated this place. While the self
appointed "experts" of the newsgroup continue to wax long about Latin
declensions (they have a dictionary and know how to use it), correct
methodology (their methodology is right, your's is, well, just plain
wrong), the proper use of sources (they know the sources, you don't
dummy), Stradling-Beaufort (whine! whine! whine!), and such nonsense,
I thought maybe we'd get back to something more basic today: medieval
genealogy. Medieval genealogy - what a novel idea!
