  Quite to the contrary. I think that A&S is equal to, and some cases 
superior to, fighting. Without the banners, pavilions, garb, and armor of our 
artisans, we're just a bunch of guys hitting each other with sticks. Long 
after my knees won't carry me onto the field anymore I'll be refining my 
research and looking for new and better ways to replicate the things of old. 
I support fully anything and anyone that adds to the overall splendor and 
magic of an event.
