I've been having trouble getting to the USMS Top Ten site the last two days. Anyone know if there is a URL change?

Let me clarify.
I meant to suggest that we compile/publish the top 40 USMS times regardless of age in each event, for men and women separately.
For example, Joe X does a 4:40 500 freestyle which puts him 3rd in his age group, but 39th overall. Fred Y (who is ten years older) does a 4:39, which puts him first in his age group, but 35th overall.
A lot of the responses to my suggestion do not seem to address my suggestion as I intended it.
While I am not opposed to other ideas such as compiling a database of all times performed per se, I don't think it can be done easily.
I think my suggestion is possible based on the way data is currently gathered, as I understand it. Maybe not 100% guaranteed, but I think it would work out based on past experience.
