> Oh, c'mon, Dave. Whacking at people with pieces of metal (be they real swords or not) is much more fun than handball. It's also great stress relief-if people fenced instead of drinking, smoking, or shooting up with drugs, the world would be a better place-in fact, that's what should happen! People worldwide should have at it with fake swords instead of more dangerous methods of making life bearable!

Pffft. You obviously haven't seen heavy weapons fighting, with armor and rattan weapons. Only then will you realize that fencing is for fops.
