Kokkole- you didn't say anything wrong & nobody was objecting to your use of english. Brian was having fun in a long-established forum manner, one part Hunter S. Thompson, the other, Charley the Tuna. Besides he is a coach, nuff said.
It seems to me that Kokkole's National Sanctioning body should have let their swimmers know when the deadline was. I just visited the FINA site and found that information on the site is available in Spanish, German, French, Japanese, Chinese, and Thai, I have no idea why there are not more options available.
I'm also sorry if I appeared disrespectful, that was not my intent, I was attempting to have a bit of fun with the confusion. Your questions reminded me of several of my swimmers, who allegedly have a decent command of our native tounge but also did not get the deadline concept.
I did get a bit tweaked at the Kokkole quote that follows from an earlier (June 10,2006) post: "The whole world doesn't read the USMS discussion forum... it's almost like an exclusive club is allowed to make entries past the official deadline."
I'm very secure in saying that no forum members got any slack on the entry deadline. BTW K's english looks and reads pretty well from here.
Hunter Thompson eh, you flatter me Peter!:p
See ya
Brian
