Lady Adrianna, I think you have let your enthusiasm for War Practice lead
you to error.

It is a wonderful thing to extol the virtues of your favorite event, War
Practice or any other.  It is not OK to denigrate another event opposite
the event you prefer.

To state that a fighter who attends University will not be properly
prepared for fighting at Pennsic is wrong.  Some who attend University
will be perfectly prepared for fighting at Pennsic, some won't.  Some who
attend War Practice will _not_ be prepared for fighting at Pennsic.  Some
will.

I'm sure that War Practice will be a fine event.  I've been to a bunch of
them.  And I know that University will be a fine event.  I've been to a
lot of those, too.
