Thank you, this is the part of our Annals that we work the hardest on, and
in fact contains most of what we Soerbaird spend our time doing.

What I think disturbs me most about this, is that you admit to not being
able to find the information on our site, yet you proceed with your libel
as if your assumption was true. I've noticed a similar pattern from those
who wish to defame the name of the Soerbaird--that little evidence to our
'cliquish' behavior or 'secret knowledge' is provided, yet you continue to
accuse us of such.

Also, your acceptance of our group or its goals is based on whether or not
we have a list of bard songs available to the public? Again, that you would
judge us based on what services you percieve we should provide to our
memebers rather than our ACTUAL character and deeds, I find that very
disturbing.

If you wish to hold court in a public forum, rather than taking your issues
up personally with me, then please be more forthright with your evidence so
that we may answer for it.

We have never withheld information about the bardic profession from any
bard if asked, and we try to respond to every question on this list that we
can answer, and we respond to them truthfully. We do have a song list which
existed on an older site, but as of yet has not been moved to the new site.
When it is, I will let you know.

Listen and Live.
