Netiquette Guidelines

Originally posted by effi ... A brief exchange can be entertaining or useful to all readers. But long threads that go on and on devoted to helping one swimmer or arguing with one swimmer over this or that technical point about that person's swimming style or intervals are not of general interest and belong in the realm of private discourse. What would be the reason for not consigning this to e-mail? I think effi, that it is the exact value of the USMS forum discussions, to have long replies "...devoted to helping one swimmer or arguing with one swimmer over this or that technical point about that person's swimming style or intervals...", when that one swimmer is anyone interested in technical advices from knowledgeable swimmers and coaches across the US. To me, it is hypocrisy to claim today November 4, 2002 that it is "...not of general interest...", and do the opposite April 17, 2002, when feigning general interest in the thread '500 yards prep' started by Fisch. I am printing your 'contribution' to that thread, below. Originally posted by effi Ion, how are you outworking the .50 per 100 and 1.00 per 100 you describe? It sounds like you are not going at those times in workout or in races. I'm confused about what your dilemma is. I replied April 17, 2002 to your post, with a technical answer starting with: Originally posted by Ion Beza I train in the 1:15 pace per 100 yards lane. ... ... which I followed April 17, 2002 with: Originally posted by Ion Beza "It sounds like you are not going at those times in workouts or in races" is wrong, as far as 1.00 and slightly sub 1:00 per 100 free goes. Misinformation effi. Below is your claim of general interest in the thread '500 yards prep': Originally posted by effi Ion, thanks for explaining. That is actually quite interesting. Now I understand. It is a little complicated. I wasn't being critical--I just wanted to understand because I am interested in all these 500 training strategies. Thanks, Effi The entire thread can be seen here: forums.usms.org/showthread.php So, because April 17, 2002 you feigned interest in the thread '500 yards prep' started by Fisch, a thread which is "...devoted to helping one swimmer or arguing with one swimmer over this or that technical point about that person's swimming style or intervals...", it is hypocrisy to claim the opposite of this November 4, 2002, by writing that the same style of thread has no "...general interest...".
