I have thought of getting into fencing. DHH's article about it a couple years ago piqued my interest.

Maybe I'm just elitist, but I think that with more obscure sports/hobbies you meet more interesting people. Anyone can play/talk about basketball, without much effort put in to play/learn about the sport. A sport like fencing though, requires a much more serious investment of time and follow through. Has anyone else noticed this?

That is funny, I started thinking about fencing (or rather sword fighting in general) a couple of weeks ago.

Do you by chance have the link to his article? My google-fo seems week.
