The purpose of this thread is to establish etiquette guidelines for the USMS Discussion Forums. Most of the nearly 900 forum members use common etiquette when posting. Unfortunately this is not always the case. Please use this thread to list suggestions for "netiquette guidelines" for posts on the discussion forums.

What "technical advances" can be gained from discussing the merits/problems with New York and New Jersey? Before replying, please note that though the initial discussion DID involve commuting and training facilities, it did degenerate into attacks/defenses of NY, NJ, and San Diego.
Ion, you are obviously passionate about a great many things; you are also adept in the art of raising the ire of your fellow swimmers, perhaps just to accomplish it. The common denominator in your issues with training/swimming/culture in NY, San Diego, and now (the taper issue), is YOU. You were in all three places and had concerns. A great many swimmers/athletes have long trained and enjoyed their lives in and around NY, NJ, SD, etc. You need to relax, enjoy this sport and those around you for everyday that you can. I was shocked when the initial thread put up by Cynthia (bless her heart) took on a life of any kind. I though that there was no way that the thread had a chance to grow. Silly me. We are off track and in no way helping or supporting our efforts to become better swimmers, athletes, and people. Jeez, folks, relax.
