I will ask you a very simple question. If you own a car that among its features can do over 300km/hr and you never get it up to that speed. You never take it to a track, you never take it a highway that you can do that speed. Are you using it to its fullest? What about if it has 4 wheel drive, and you never take it off paved roads? Personally, Although it is not a disgrace, it is sad. Anything you do, you shoudl doi it in some competition at least once. I may do a diving competition in the spring. I need to find out if I can enter it. Martin, You have on many occations shown that you are a troll. I will comment, it is more for my humour. Micheal |

Just give the guy a break. Because my just turned 8 year old can kick his ass in the 50m free and 100 IM, doesn't mean he's not trying. It means he's got a lot of potential. |

Right. Let's review: I said "puts you ahead of ..." which you trolled into "a disgrace to swimming." I believe it takes a certain something to commit to a competition, to train for it, to show up for it, and to perform on someone else's clock. Not everyone has the dedication or the intestinal fortitude to compete, and I applaud those who do. I do not find anything _wrong_ with those who don't, but I applaud those who do. Clear enough for you? -S- |
