(snip) actually I like this idea. Just as an example of a real-life application: I used to fence avidly- my roommate & I belonged to an escrimar (fencing school) in Northern Virginia, and fenced 3 or 4 times a week, for 2 hours at a stretch. In a short time I got to be good enough at it that I won several gold medals for fencing in my school (although I came in pretty low in the regionals). Now it's been several years since I've fenced, and I'm lucky if I can even remember what the various paries are. Skills DO decay with time. -Mike Forbes +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | +------------------------------------------------------------+
