I don't care about 1 second. If everyone were within 1 second, we'd be great!
I care about 10 seconds in a 100. If you're that far off in a 100 free, then you need to work on your seed times.
I happen to run a meet that lots of people seem to want to come to. If I can get better seed times, I can squeeze more people into the meet. More people for you to socialize with on deck. More people for you to drink with after the meet. I don't like telling people that my meet is full.

Yea 10 secs would be bad but I honestly blew off some large chunks of time this summer. There was no way I could have known. I am sure a few folks were giving me the hairy eyeball...
Was no way criticising your meet Rick. That's a lot of people...even with 3 full days. I can understand your frustration there. Plus at NEM there are typically enough heats that you'll get your rest...
