From Lefty: I don't know why I care, but I do: Dolphin you contribute absolutely nothing to this forum except for complaints about tech suits. I just clicked on your profile and then looked at your past posts. Almost 100% of your posts are tech suit bashing.
Hey Lefty
Well, here's the reason why.
Actually I've been visiting the USMS site since 2000. However in the past 5 years, I've noticed that the topics on the discussion board have evolved from truly interesting chit chat about basic swimming techniques to what's the "latest & greatest" in suit technology.
An apparel item that onced covered only 8% of a swimmer's body (and cost only $12 at Sears) has now evolved into some expensive tacky craze like something out of the script of a movie about the Los Angeles car culture.
So other than providing a scientific/academic experiment in the subject mechanically aided swimming, the whole suit technology issue doesn't have much athletic esteem in the opinion of many people. Hearing that Joe Schmoe set another new WR by using a new fangled speed suit has become pretty blas'e and ho hum (and highly enticing to trolls to boot).
It's like the monotony of hearing people talk about their expensive new BMW and I just get totally dazed when I hear people swooning and gasping to the point where they're about to fall on the floor while saying "Oh............I just can't wait until the new models (tech suits that is) come out". :blah:
