[Regia-NA] "what's an Authenticity Officer look like"?

Tue, 18 Mar 2003 07:20:04 -0000

My concern would be that - particularly at this stage - someone may be
invited who is loquacious but with a sub-standard knowledge. I make
"pronouncements" on Authenticity all the time on this list, but that does
not mean I know enough to be an AO.

Regards,

Kim Siddorn
