The flaw is polled.

| I said that his favorite form of entertainment was reading. I assumed this because of his extensive vocabulary. Are these other forms of entertainment more enjoyable for Inq than reading a book? I think only Inq can answer that.
If the flaw is polled, and the poll is flawed, then the flaw would be flawed, right?

4)All of the above lead me to believe that Inq is an upper-middle class man living somewhere in the northeast (really guessing about the northeast part) . . . . As for age, I'd have to take a wild guess and not try as the range is 30+ (room for error there, as you can see  )
If anything here is wrong, please say so. Be as brutal as you wish  . | Based on previous posts, I would guess the southwest (most likely Arizona, home of Barry Goldwater.) And definitely over 40.

1)Inq loves wordplay, meaning that he is well-educated
2)From everything he has said about politics, he is without a doubt, Republican. (eliminates half the country  )
3)Inq has a great sense of irony (i.e. a sabre fencer choosing Inquartata as their forum name)
4)All of the above lead me to believe that Inq is an upper-middle class man living somewhere in the northeast (really guessing about the northeast part) who voted for George Bush both times. He enjoys reading more than any other form of entertainment. He shaves at 6:30 every morning (alright I made that one up  ). As for age, I'd have to take a wild guess and not try as the range is 30+ (room for error there, as you can see  )
If anything here is wrong, please say so. Be as brutal as you wish  . | Upper-middle class, well-educated, government employee. Somewhere west of the Mississippi, I believe. Older - I think 50+. Conservative, but not Republican. Voted Kerry in this last election on the principle of always voting opposite the senate majority. |

If the flaw is polled, and the poll is flawed, then the flaw would be flawed, right?  | It was just me, noting a (probably inappropriate) similarity between the tone of your post and the tone of the average "singles" ad, the one that usually ends a short, nondescript list of interests with "dining out and long walks on the beach"--which in my experience usually translated to "boring and uncreative"...
Feel free to ignore my rantings in future.

| And oh, yes--I think Inquartata absorbed a rigorous Jesuit education somewhere along the line. No hard evidence, just a certain tonality and timbre to his posting...and his love of both rhetoric and classical logic...

| So just go up to every 50+ sabereur in Arizona and start speaking Latin, and if one can respond, it's Inq. |

| Or listen to him talk about what events he has fenced and at what tournaments, cross reference the reg. list, and bam you've got his name....not that I've done that/know who he is  |

| The question is always more fun than the answer. If I found out who Inq is, I would automatically be disappointed because he would no longer be Inquartata, but just another human being (though there are some doubts even about that...  ).

| ...and went over to the Dark Side, thereby setting up a numbingly trite and tedious 9 film epic on Inquartata's life and history.
