FR Too many years in the SCA here, although I stepped away from it several years ago. There, a "Sir" and a "Master" are supposed to be equal terms, but the reality is that many see a "Sir" as higher than a "Master" (even though the Masters would protest vehemently that this is not so). Also, while I would call someone "Sir" all by itself, "Master" would always be followed by their name. So calling someone "Master" alone just reminds me of that cartoon where the sniveling guy keeps saying "yes master yes master" (and geez, I'm drawing a blank now on which one that is). In the same way, "Lord" always takes a name after it, the way "Mister" does. So, that leaves me being a "Sir" kinda girl. Cali
