    Newbie

    Beginning fencer here. Taken just enough lessons, and read just enough books, to not know what I'm talking about. Looking forward to lurking and learning.

    Welcome - this is a wonderful sport. Look around, read, chat, have a good time.

    Oh, and congratulations on knowing you don't know what you're talking about! That puts you well on the way to becoming a real fencer It certainly makes you fit in around here.

    Not knowing what you're talking about is a phase most of us are still in! So in that sense, welcome to the forum!

    Lurker sounds like a comic book character... and that would be cool to be!

    Thanks, all. I may post in the water cooler. I sure don't know enough to post anywhere else.
