What should USMS do about the suits?

I would agree to follow the international Fina Masters into making their decsion next week. I think it is a mistake to follow usa swimming too closely. How serious are we as a body? Is competition our main function? If I were about 70 I'd love a suit that gave me a little boost. If they really do. And we will all find out in the next year if this is much ado about nothing. I personally have worn a fabric suit and a blue seventy in competition, and my results were about the same. I actually liked the fabric better. But again, the bigger question is; were are we going with all of this, and does it really matter? It is amazing how caught up we all get about things like suits. Five minutes after a swim, it is forgotten and we all get on with our lives. So, where do I stand? Just make it fair. If we go tech, Make the suits affordable. If we go fabric, for goodness sakes please cover up the wonderful masters bodies, I say head to toe.
