Joe:

Some would say that security interviewers are members of a strange society ... (DSS ... DIS, NIS etc ... not to mention the incantation "LDMAC" ... ).

In a musical sense the people I have known as part of SCA seem to gravitate to the narcissitic Gothic scene which can embrace a wide variety of interests: the fringe groups role play as vampires: better ask some questions about blood letting or ask to see their dentures ... Others would probably fit into Civil War reenactment types (or the English version of Gentlemen of the Sealed Knot; quite a respectable association).

Overall, nothing too sinister about the SCA.

Cheers, Brian
