| Dear FG,
At what rate does the force of respondant pressure on the inside of your skull increase in relation to intelligent answer relief provided through your oral cavities?

Man you are really asking the wrong person... but that hasn't stopped me from answering before!
I suggest you start your own forum where you and the person below can have serious conversations about serious, serious things. It'll be very exclusive.

Peter knows I always have nice days, so telling me to is redundant.

non-dyslexic in Nevada | Dear Non in Nevada,
You didn't spell adding correct because just as you were typing a bell went off. So adding became "adiing"

I wonder if it works on easlily extrapolatable sequences?
for (i=0; i < 50; i++){
printf("Dear FG, \n\nWhat's %i + %i?", i, i+5);
}

Bummed in Buffalo | Dear Bummed,
As this is several days later I can either assume a) you made it through your day without my advice b) you didn't and I'm wasting my time answering this.

Also, do you read these emails out loud while trying to do a Strong Bad impression? I just started, and some of the results are to my liking.
Sincerely,
Paranoid in DC | Dear Paranoid,
Have no fear. Next time you're at a tournament, look around at the lack of people who come to watch.... So unless you kidnap some terrorist and force them to spend their weekend watching fencers (and I suspect the UN might have something to say about that) it's unlikely they'll find our secret locations.
And no, I don't read these emails out loud, but feel free to enhance your reading pleasure anyway you can. Just remember that something s are better left unsaid.

Speaking of Canadians, if you guys are looking for your geese, they have all moved to North Carolina.
What was once a rare sight, has turned into a constant loud honking, irritating foul from the Abyss. Our cars look like they have been attacked by condors that have been eating chili.
The bastards aren't leaving. This is no migration. They stay the whole year now. They wised up or something.
They use to fly, but as time goes by they seem to walk more and more. I am not sure they fly any better than chickens.
I personally would like to see something like a cattle drive that would take them back to Canada.
Please offer your sage-like advice.
Downtown

| Dear FG,
I have this recurring fantasy that any time I have a problem in my life a beautiful, intelligent woman fencer will appear and present me with the perfect solution. I am concerned that this fantasy is an indicator of a submissive personality.
What do you think?
