Do you want the tech suit back for SCY?

Also, we have 50,000 people in USMS of which, what, 4,000 compete, that's less than 10%. And how many of those people follow the forum? This is very much the kind of a questions this effort will be faced with, within the USMS too. If you formulate it slightly differently... We have 50,000 people in the USMS, 4-5K compete, and (for the argument sake lets say) maybe little more then half want the tech suit back. What does it take to bring the tech suit back, how much does it cost, how does it service our membership as a whole, what about the people who didn't express their opinions, but are paying dues... etc etc... I'm not bringing this up to try and rain on the parade. Proponents of this has to have a devils advocate working with you, thinking of all the cons that the oppositon may come up with, and have an answer (and a solution on how to overcome the obstacle) to make it fly. Especially when you have to turn the tide on a rule that's already in place. Don't let me be one, you guys can find one among yourselves. i'm just giving you few starter examples. This is not the case with just the tech suit, but with anything really, the whole case has to be put together soundly and logically, and lot of what if's addressed, and solution offered. Another one could be... in most cases USMS moves with FINA and USAS, find out the reasons why (things like credibility, pooled resources, recioprocity of qualifying times and I don't know what else), find out what they are, and how to address them.
