It seems as though "the regulars" here are a social lot. Would it be possible to start a new forum, the purpose of which is just social, non-swimming chatter. That would leave this forum for general swimming discussions, which is its designation and give specific forum for the socializing that is also one of the nice parts of master's swimming. It might also be a nice way to bring in some of the people who lurk and read but never post.

Gosh, I am not sure I would consider myself an Ion supporter….I would consider myself a guy who recognizes the flaws in myself and attempts to be understanding and forgiving of the flaws in others. These past nineteen months have been very, very difficult in my life and during this time I have found comfort and a sense of well being in the realization that we are all human beings and we are all flawed….which in turn has given me a greater sense of forgiveness and leeway to the quirks of others.
As to life being to short….Life is way to short….and we only get the opportunity to walk into this Arena one time….
As to laughing at ourselves….Gosh, I do that every time I look in the mirror…and without the joy of laughter….we’d all live a rather glum life….
I have taken my fair share of shots on this forum…most I had coming…some I did not…but in the final analysis I hope I have learned to rise above it and have benefited by being a part of this forum. Reading this forum has given me greater insight into the feelings and thoughts of others…and has allowed me to see the other side of the coin…
Just my two cents worth….
Kindest regards,
Tom Ellison
