I told you those tests would be worth it. :)

For all of you who have been bugging/badgering/or otherwise politely asking
me if there is a digest of this list available... the answer is finally
"YES!".

To s*bscribe to the new digest version, email
	majordomo@castle.org
with
	s*bscribe scribes-digest
	uns*bscribe scribes
in the body of the message.

[replace the * with a "u" in the above commands!]

(The "uns*bscribe" command will remove you from the regular list, so you
don't get double messages.)

I'm not sure how frequent the digests will be, though I know at least
one a day will go out. It depends on how busy the list is.

YIS,

Lord Christopher Thomas

Boy, have you got that right!!!!! I read the posting from Eowyn and 15 mins.

The official answer is "Yes. "  

The unofficial answer is, "We are working to make that more flexible" , but
lots of flack in that direction is unlikely to move the Scribe Armarius, and
only make him cling to the current practice more tenaciously.  On the other
hand, I have seen many Caidan scrolls in which the arms are done smaller, and
I do not believe he has rejected them.  The real requirement is that the
shield should be large enough to show the arms clearly and distinctly.   Talk
to him nicely beforehand, and exceptions are likely to be no problem.  I
really don't think he (or any previous Scribe Armarius) has actually measured
the size of the arms display on scrolls.
