Hey That Guy, thanks for the honor. That makes a hat trick for Halls of Fame this year!
On the issue of all the NT's, I agree that proving qual. times is not realistic. However, disqualifying a NT swimmer from their next event might have some swimmers thinking twice about entering unrealistic times. This could reduce the length of the meet and wouldn't necesarily cause a much smaller meet from the organizers' perspective.
Chris and i were discussing this before the 100 fly, i remember once a meet in City of Industry Hills where every .1 sec over that you were over the qual time was a dime (or $1 per sec) and you were out of the meet until you paid or proved.
