With 16 years of fighting with swords and spears I know from experience that people who constantly try new weapons and styles will not master any.

I just realised, it is one and the same.

Now Vuk, you may of course think us biased and evilly against you, and to some extent we are, but we would not have been had you done as I outlined in my above post. People here generally have some sense if presented with valid arguments based on methodical research. The only exception being of course all the Hellene Lovers (not of course us Rome Lovers, who are always perfectly objective and sensible, LOL).
I am not impatient, and I do not move from one to another. I started with Taekwondo which I practice to this day. I never tried to master the atl atl, or the bow and arrow, or the sling, I just wanted to see if I could make and use one, and I could. I still practice most of the sword forms I have learned, still practice my knife forms, and am learning spear, staff, and fan next semester. I never claimed to be a master of any of these, simply that I had some working knowledge.
As a history major I of course realise the importance of sources, and regret creating the need for them so ill prepared. I did not intend for this turn into such a debate. I cannot help that it is now when I decided to try EB, and I am in Hungary without a single familiar book. :P The reason I stopped arguing further is because the need for sources did develop and I am currently completely ill/unequipped. I do though, resent your accusations about my "immaturity, lack of patience". Just because I curious enough to dabble into more areas than I can work to master does not mean that I do not have patience. It simply means that I am open minded.
