Considering the list rules state "this list is NOT for discussing
modern sport (i.e. Olympic-style) fencing", I've always been
dismayed by the ammount of time that is spent talking about it.
It's the same reason that I've never been a fan of FQM. I don't
care if sport fencers flick because I don't do sport fencing and
I'll never have to face it - so, who cares?
