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

This is why I got booted:
In the discussions over Biondi being a "flash in the pan" I referred to Ion as "she" (nod to Bill Parcels). I think what I wrote was "she is like an old dog, ignore her and she will go away."
I promise you that is all I said! I certainly did not use profanity!
Regarding political discussions:
The swimmers on my masters team are all good, quality people. This is not surprising; any group of people who spend a significant amount of time dedicated to self-improvement tend to be of good fiber. I was mostly joking about the political question, but the reason I posted it was because I figured if there was any public forum where this could be rationally discussed, this was the place.
But I suppose whatever rules Ashcroft... uhhh... I mean the administrators set need to be followed.
