Quote of the month:
"May I ask one more question?" said one of my friends. "I have often heard it said that if you don't know much about fencing the best thing to do is, as soon as you come on guard, to make a sudden rush at the other man before he has time to collect himself." "Well," I replied, "if you wish to make sure of being incurably spitted, that is the most infallible way to set about it." -- Baron Cesar de Bazancourt, Secrets of the Sword, The Tenth Evening XII.

cheers!
