Why does it appear many masters swimmers are taking USMS so seriously?
What's the difference between the typical "selfish train all day", "it's all about me" triathlete and a masters swimmer who seriously trains as hard as they can.... particularly to focus on setting masters records?
Seems like there is a growing parallel between triathletes and many masters swimmers these days.
Isn't it just "masters swimming" for health and fun in the end?
Does a masters record really mean that much?
Is this a good thing? ..... or a turn off for those who look on with amusement.

If you are still following me, I think what emerges from all this is that we who are still writing anything at this point are doing so not because we expect to change anyone's mind, or even add clarity to the debate.
My personal opinion is that network mediums such as this message board are used with acute curiosity by posters who openly share their inner perspective of the human psyche. The fascination kicks in when you are left projecting a destructive thought which in most cases is stretched to a place of pure fiction. The majority of these thoughts could never be real outside the mind, that would imply a consensus of interaction with our accepted modes of reality. Instead they act like shadows that simply disappear when you turn the lights on.
Let's see if we can answer those initial questions?
What happens when we stop acting and simply accept what we are?
