public sniping...
While I can easily spot historical errors at the Faire, I never make a public comment about them. I do not enjoy being unpleasant. Besides, there is no fun in shooting at such easy targets...
That is my philosphy as well, Glenn -- while I was attending my mother's hometown festival, Corn Days in Dowa, Iowa, I watched a local Civil War reenactment group give a presentation on the weapons, uniforms and equipment of the Civil War -- there was quite a bit of "questionable" information in the program, and very little mention of Iowa's contributions to the war, yet an overabundance of "folksy" stories and myths -- But I bit through my upper-lip and left the program without saying anything, since it was their program. Even identifying myself as a park ranger at the Civil War battlefield might be construed as "one-upsmanship", so I decided to go back to the free sweet corn stand! :mrgreen:
Cheers, 
Todd
