I was wondering about this too. A bard or a poet laureate irl is someone who continually creates/performs. A B.A. is more for someone who has shown a certain level of mastery over the ability to do so, but doesn't necessarily do it regularly. I don't know if Agora wants or cares about such a distinction. -- nch Prime Minister, Webmastor, NAX Exchange Manager
