"You might reasonably point out that a chronicler without a newsletter isn't doing an awful lot -- and I'd counter with A&S officer in many groups."

Something I also pointed out when I wrote my infamous "Principality to Kingdom" series. Why have a herald when everyone locally has arms? And those who don't usually wait for an event anyway. Why require a marshal when you don't require a barony to have fighters? Or tournaments?
