At the top are the Blaus and the Asimovs et al. At the bottom are folks like, well, Yours Truly, who is nowhere near in the same exalted league as the greats. <br /><br />There are popes and there are cardinals and there are village priests...David Morrillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6512050174377678428.post-5614668639639158102013-09-05T20:33:10.208-05:002013-09-05T20:33:10.208-05:00Whenever I meet a famous (or famous-to-me) Sherloc...Whenever I meet a famous (or famous-to-me) Sherlockian, I'm usually all quiet, because I don't want to be annoying (and because I can never think of anything to say. I'm better online). But at the Norwegian Explorers this past month, I was amazed to see everyone doing the autograph thing...and not getting their heads bitten off.

When I first saw Peter Blau - Peter Blau, of all people! - circulating at BSI events, with his stack of the previous year's BSJs in hand, attempting to get them autographed by every Sherlockian in attendance who wrote for it that year, I realized that we all have some degree of celebrity or status within the Sherlockian world.
