I propose USMS adopt handicap measurements to more equitably compare performances in Masters Swimming.
1. Married ...... deduct one tenth per 50
2. Nagging spouse.... deduct two tenths per 50
3. Each child under the age of 10..... deduct one tenth per 50
4. Work more than 40 hours a week..... deduct one tenth per 50
5. House and car payment stress.... deduct on tenth per vehicle two tenths per house.
6. Travel more than 1 day a week.... one tenth per 50
Note: item 6 can help negate item 2.
In addition.... those of us with more manageable lifestyles need to adjust their times as well.
7. Training more than 4,000 a workout ...... add one tenth per 50
8. Training more than 4 days a week....... add one tenth per 50
9. Born independently wealthy..... add 3 tenths per 50

"When commenting on my times, mocking and ignoring information."
Things said between us both in past posts have LONG AGO been worked out. I never said anything about your times in this post. As far as my choice to ignore your information, that is my right! I could care less what you swim or what your times are or how much you know or do not know.
If you want to push this issue, I can drag the lumber out if needed ....and..... having said that, I see no need for that. What I posted was HUMOR....Actually, Mr. Moose and Ralph posted most of it....and if you have a problem with what they posted, take it up with them.
Hey Tom you big Dork, don't do that to us.....
