I tried doing a search in the forums on this and couldn't find anything. I am curious to know how many yards people in Masters are swimming a practice. I swim on average 3000-4000 yards a practice, 3 times a week.
Ion, I admit that I am not as familiar with your "theories" (sic) as are some others here (due at least in part, I suppose, to the fact that I find your ranting screeds to be largely unintelligible, and your opinions expressed in them to be woefully misguided and unsupported by anything other than your own anecdotal evidence and snippets of quotes which, even when not taken out of context, generally fail to bolster your allegations a whit.)
But notwithstanding my ignorance of your highly evolved constructs, from what I can glean from your posts should I not be commended for somehow rising above my obvious genetic shortcomings, through years of late blooming hard work and perserverence, to, despite those clear limitations, recognize and acknowledge your masterful references to what, by any measure of obscurity (think of the sources in relation to, say, a John Grisham novel) are indeed obscure? Should not all bow down to me, despite the fact that others have more posts; or better command of language, grammar, syntax, or even spelling, and acknowledge what I have been able to achieve from such a humble double helix?
Oh, and by the way, the first post (like this one. Well, to a certain extent anyway) was a joke. A quip. A bon mot. You know, a little funny. You weren't the only one slinging references back and forth, and it struck me as funny that so many were taking the time to frantically leaf through their swimming books for quotes to use in debating the most arcane of points.
Feelin' nearly faded as my genes.
And a good day to all. You too, Ion.:D
