Don't get me wrong... I am still very active in the SCA and enjoy being in
it.  There is a small knot of folks in the SCA who are still clinging to
being somewhat authentic and don't like being called 'authenticity nazis',
regardless of the existance of Regia.  The idea is that being authentic is
our fun, and as long as the less authentic don't complain about our idea
of fun, we'll leave the less authentic to their fun.  But if they ask for
our help, don't expect a t-tunic answer...
