I couldn't help noticing that we are fast approaching 5000 threads and 50,000 threads. This is kind of neat. There are lots of new people perusing the site & I thought we might nominate, or remind ourselves of some of the more memorable and/or contentious thread topics. Here are a couple off the top of my head:
National Qualifying standards for Nationals
Pool measurement errors & effect on top ten compilations
I realize that I have not used the proper thread titles, but in some cases these topics spanned several threads. Have you any others to remember?
I also would like to take a moment to thank our tireless adminstrator/monitors, who have soldiered on doing a yucky job despite severe (at times) provocation & our sometimes petulant & immature (moi?) reactions to other posters. Perhaps they would like to nominate a most annoying thread?
Mr. Goodsmith:
I was wondering when you were going to contribute today. The reason why I keep calling you Mr. Goodsmith is because I really believe there is some good in you. That you do have good intentions despite all things that may be not be good in what you post. I don't know if you could really get this award.
You faked me out by closing your own thread when I though it was closed by the USMS moderators because of highlighing the differences between men and women can be politically incorrect.
I think its still to early in time for you to be considered for this. However keep the posts up about the visiting triathletes, USA swimming being doomed, men against women, foreign swimmers, no USMS records for non citizens, and all USA World team for the best swimmers to kick some booty. Then maybe, just maybe you might be considered.
Now, I not going to saying anything more because I don't want to get myself in trouble. The last time something like this happened I got in trouble. So no reference to anybody else.
