What exactly are the criteria for this?  I can remember when being a knight meant something.

I purposely refrained from making that comment.  I wanted to see how many post it would take before it got posted.  One post, that's all it took.

I tried looking it up on Google but I found very little. I guess the requirements for being a knight are secret, non existent, or just the decision of the queen. I can see the queen thinking, "Hmm, I like this fellow. We had lunch a couple times and he had some good hits. Plus I used his stuff on a mix tape, I owe it to him."

Self-restraint is not my strong point.
