IThe forums have been a bit drab since our friend was kicked off. We need to spice things up. Here are some possible topics:
What should US swimming do more to promote the sport?
Should the qualifying times for nationals (masters) be lowered to make the meet smaller and more conducive to fast swimming?
400 IM - the true measure of swimming ability?
Has Bush exaggerated the threat of terrorism so that he can push his social agenda in the name of national security?
My answers: Yes, Yes, Yes, and Yes
400 IM - true measure of ones "swimming" ability. Absolutely.
200 fly - true measure of ones ability to absorb and tolerate pain. Both during a swim and prior to it. Just thinking about it gives me pain.
I, too, would hope that Ion has not been 86'd from the forum for any length of time whatsoever. Again, if someone disagrees with a post, just don't go there! I can not fathom why someone would complain about someone elses post and then go back to see what might have been posted later by the person they are complaining about. What's up with that?
Leave the qualifying times alone. If you want a small meet, stay home and compete locally. The times still count towards the stuff that counts.
