>>
>> Our guild is built to be a boon for Bards, and thus it's my

>>
>> I guess I don't think it's arrogant or selfish to ask people to

>> that way. My
>> contention was that people were posting incorrect information as truth.
>>
>> As for time, I give what time I have to providing a source of

>> Soerbaird as well as to anyone interested. I built the Soerbaird
>> web site as

>> invested many hours into developing this information storehouse
>> for you and
>> anyone else.
>>
>> While it's only 1 week old, the site will soon be overflowing with
>> information for young and old bards alike. I can tell you the
>> leaders of the
>> Soerbaird spend little time powergaming, and much time tinkering with
>> quests, writing ballads, and testing techniques for bards.
>>
>> As you might imagine, it takes time to document research, and I'm always
>> grateful to those who do.
