Excellent observation, Ess. But I think you failed to consider the long-term ramifications of your plan on the underrepresented members of the epee community whose voices are not heard on this forum but who nevertheless suffer from the politics of alienation demonstrated by your suggestions, as evidenced by the document I have attached.
"What did I tell you about being stupid? You don't get a birthday this year."
Question of the day: How many sabreuers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
None- sabreurs are not afraid of the dark.
But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
None. The smell that they accumulate makes them able to locate each other. It is sort of like a god sniffing his way around to find things, except the only thing exceptional about a sabeur is their smell, not the ability to smell.
A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess looks at him and says, "I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger."
How many foilists does it take to replace a light bulb?
None. The old bulb cannot be replaced, it has ROW.

How many epeeists does it take to change a lightbulb? Unknown, they just stand there bouncing and making tentative thrusts toward the empty socket until time expires.
Bored now. You guys really should try something more original than this...
I'd have to agree with Inq here. It's getting dull watching you boys lobs insults at each other. Ahh, the beginnings of this thread, where we had stirring sermons, and the possibility of more pictures of Mr. Epee and his friend Santa to look foward to... those were the salad days.
I need to point something out. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but here it is: epee killed my foil game. I can't do foil anymore. Not just that I don't like it - I can't do it. *sigh* Score one for the big weapon.
