I have been banned for 3 months. The reason: " Repeat arguing".
Sounds kind of strange, because the whole purpose of the Forum is finding the truth and it requires arguments . But be that as it may, I got a lot of free time on my hands and was able to use it productively: finished several papers from the lowest drawer, together with a friend of mine from Moscow completed editing the first decent book on pituitary diseases in Russian and bought several nice swords: old Yemeni one ( it ain't no Bukharan!) and a likely Yemeni shashka-like saber ( as per 2nd edition of Gracie's book), a couple of old Uzbek ( well, kind of) daggers, a circa 18th century Polish karabela and a Polish-Lithuanian Tatar saber. Will post them gradually for general discussion and ... argumentation:-), Everybody is invited. Also, found a good groomer for our geriatric mini-schnauzer, mastered several Georgian ( Tbilisi, not Atlanta!) dishes and started moving my library and all swords down to the walk-out basement. Not bad for an old geezer! |

Welcome back. I always enjoy a little bit of "hot sauce," to improve things.

BTW, the second edition of Gracie's book contains " new acquisitions": spears, swords etc. This is very valuable, but the quality of printing is vastly inferior to the 1st edition.
Still, for a $30 book it is a steal. |
