I have a suggestion. It seems that several people are annoyed with the lack of swimming content in many of the threads (darn those thread hijackers). What if we created a section for Off Topic Questions and threads. It seems that would be an easy solution and make everyone happy.

It's usually pretty obvious which ones aren't going to be about swimming much. The NSR will just make it that much easier for those who aren't interested to stay away.
I think Kirk has the right idea. Just encourage people to start putting "NSR" or "OT" (off-topic) in the subject line, on a voluntary basis, and see if that helps.
On the other hand, I've noticed that Karen and Kirk are right behind me on the total posters list, so nobody do anything that will cause them to post (until I build up more of a lead ;) ).
Connie, I'm not sure that underwater swims will help. I've heard of a study, that steroid-using soap-opera watchers that use VaMoose (VO2Max shampoo for mooses) on a desert island will develop gills.
