I think if you read my post over, you'd realize that you've completely misunderstood it... I actually think I'm in 100% agreeance with you. If you're going to quote me, use the entirety of the post... I said I would take "NOW" all day long because they're just sending it. I was making the analogy that 20 years ago, people thought Tim Broe was the greatest thing for running sub 13:20 at the US champs... I'll take today over that ALL THE TIME.
My point was that while it's nostalgic to think about how times compare across era's it's becoming less relevant due to the game changing even though in principle, it's the same... It's progress for sure, but I don't blame people for trying to hold onto the essence of it all.
And to the next poster, same deal... with tech changes, the arguments for who's better become more subjective than objective, which is ironic considering everyone races the same distances...
So chill out... I'm loving it, it just makes "whos the greatest" arguments harder.. but what else is this message board for!
My bad, I apologize - I should have read it better.
