Polly Craus August.
You have her photo and want information about her?

Is this a woman you have met?
Why do you want information about her? Why do you have her photo. How did you get her photo?

We can't just give information to a complete stranger. Who are you?

You could be a stalker, a hitman, loan shark, etc. Maybe she is trying to escape from you.

Oh perfect. Now she's a goner. Thanks Jeff.

355, that's all public information.

[DamedEscrime]

She was pictured in Nick Evangelista's book the Art and Science of Fencing. Evangelista was Faulkner's student also. Evangelista is still operating and has a website. Perhaps he or someone from his salle can help you.

It was a joke. The information would not lead to her whereabouts.

Any other information however would lead to her untimely death at the hands of Jean-Paul Mercier.

Reply to fencer member 915 "calling" himself three_hundred_fifty_five (!?"").
You have some nerve calling me a stalker and a murderer. You must be a sick person whith not much to do. You must be also a lousy fencer. A saw the photo of Polly Craus August in a book written by Nick Evangelista, I was looking for biographies notes on her as to give this info to my students.

Relax, Jean-Paul.

355 is just a troll that pops out from under the bridge from time to time to scare the kiddies.

Don't take him seriously. None of us do.

Sounds like time for a grudge match.

Murderer... stalker... whatever you want to call yourself...I have nerves of steel. Don't forget it.

Sick person? Lousy fencer? Maybe, but I'm not a stalker/murderer/Glass Tiger fan.

Il était une fois un grand Snoro...sur une piste un jour, vos nerfs on verra.
Thank you for your kind words, I will keep my cool.


Jean-Paul dit le grand Snoro.

[MikeHarm]

Hmm, I don't know French that well so I punched What Jean-Paul said into a French-English translating web page (Alta Vista) and what it said he said was:

It was once large Snoro... on a track one day, your nerves one will see.

I think the translator may have been a bit off. What is a Snoro anyways?
