Very few of reading this group I bet.

This group is for discussion of Heraldry and related matters.
SCA heraldry is only a very small subset of that subject, and one of only
limited interest, I suspect, to the majority of the readers of this
group (it is also of interest to only a very limited set of readers of
rec.org.sca, but that is another story...)
There is not, as far as I know, a CoA mailing list in electronic
form. There is a mailing list for discussion among SCA heralds, but
that is *not* the same thing. SCAHRLDS has no official status with
either the SCA or with its College of Arms. It is a tool, like an
armorial.
If SCA-specific heraldic discussion has any place on USENET, it
would be rec.org.sca. If it becomes non-SCA specific (and the discussion
you are refering to is not) then it might belong here.
