    Okay, I give up!

    I've been resisting joining this group for a long time, because it's so slow on a dial-up connection. But the old rec.sport.fencing newsgroup has been practically dead for the last year, so I give in. Hi, everyone.

    That's funny

    I was driving yesterday, and wondered what you were up to.

    Welcome.
    Take your time. Read carefully.

    That implies that I know you, but this interface doesn't reveal "Mr Epee's" secret identity. Care to decloak?

    Although, just try telling an armorer that resistance is futile.

    Welcome aboard.

    It is futile to resist, first you join thinking "this'll be fun!" Next thing you know it, you're eating Cheetoes and drinking diet cola to stay up until 3:00 or 4:00am to respond to overseas posts in the "RU A Hottie" thread. Leave now! Leave now before the dark side takes your soul!! Goldgar... Mr Epee is your father...

    Hi Dirk! It's funny, starting to post here is like stepping into a tournament in a totally different place, expecting everyone to be strangers, and finding that you know a bunch of people there already. * Neat!

    * Which actually happened to me in the first tournament I went to in San Diego.

    Welcome Dirk. Give into the dark side and get broadband!

    Cheers, Mark R.
    Why sabre? Because you don't take heads with the point.

    Inwe,

    Aren't you a little young to be up this late on the computer?

    Shouldn't you be out partying, doing drugs, and rebelling against your parents?
