Okay, I am sooooo with Adrianna on the OP thing!

I just don't get it....do we have nothing else to talk about on our elists? I must get 15-20 emails a day not counting the cc's to other lists!

And no, I DO NOT NEED SOMEONE TO POST THE PERTINENT ISSUES TO ME in order to help me "Get it."

My CB was without Grant. It did however come with a surprising amount of "prestige" in that it includes a coronet and title. It was almost three years before I got used to that.

I do have a Patent. It came without much fanfare as a "freebie" with my Pelican. The peerage came with another change in title but very weighty responsibility.

I do have a Dolphin and whether or not they record a GoA for me (I am one who agrees it is not appropriate), I am now a member of the Atlantian High Order of Merit for service. I was justifiably proud to be a member of the Order and whether or not I get more alphabets....the Crown has chosen to enhance the prestige of the whole Order by their choice.

Not bad recognition for just trying to do what you think is right.
