Peter is one of a number of administrators over on NetSword, a site and discussion forum dedicated to, you guessed it, swords. Every now and then I hear him howling with laughter as he deals with something or other in the forums. Today this was the cause:
“any body got a good report on medieval weapons? it would help. thanks”
It’s fairly obvious what this is about: some kid somewhere wants the experts to do his homework for him. However, the locals on NetSword are used to this kind of thing. One of them quotes an earlier response to such a request for information. (Scroll down a little bit to see it.)
I’d have loved to see what grade the earlier kid got on his report…
