Did anyone believe they had a recognized title? Seems ridiculous. It was obvious just one of those things you make small talk about or if you want to appear interesting and funny to some half drunk girl. I know a guy who was selling stars on the side, you got a certificate that said that a certain star was yours. Same principle.

PJW claimed that the law granted the title to "landowners" -- any land owner and that it would make them a land owner.

'Vanity plots' - e.g. something too small to live on or farm - were excluded. This was always an exchange of cash for a neat piece of paper.
