Sorry for the delay...I've been meaning to respond to this, but I've been
busy.  Going to help out on Y1K tech iron smelting run (direct process)
tomorrow.

Actually, I tend to be more in to authenticity than most around me, and
I've never actually run into the authenticity police.  That was more of a
joke than anything else.  I got the idea from a friend of mine who is a
banjo player.  He says, 'Sure it is a banjo...but it's persona is a lute.'

Yep, being pretty much local, I will definately be at Pennsic.  I can
usually be found in Horde Camp, or over at Flaxy's helping out with the
iron runs.
