can i get a bottom line on this? specifically: 1. bbryant, you're asking that after an ironman race, that a list of people, their names, their times, who qualified for kona be presented publicly somewhere. here maybe.
2. noofus, you're saying this is a pretty easy thing to do. that it can be done in 20 minutes with a little excel talent. yes?
3. privacy issues. really? i'm not scoffing, just asking. i don't see any reasonable expectation of privacy here, since as a number of people noted these are facts publicly available just by going to the rolldown. and, is this the sort of thing that a person would find objectionable if it was published about him? that he qualified for kona?
4. cat burglars? if it's reasonably easy to find out who from chattanooga qualified for kona so that i can rob your house while you're racing in kona, can't i just find that out even if it's not published on slowtwitch?
so, how important is it? if we generate the info here, publish it here, after every race, is that of value and is that objectionable for privacy reasons?
Dan, since we're asking for everything we'd like for Christmas, how about a return of the Enhanced Results spreadsheets? I'd be happy to volunteer to run the macros. What happened to them?
For those looking to KQ or understand what it takes, these were incredibly valuable and entertaining. For a while, they also included KQ (I believe while that was being published by sportstats(?) until WTC integrated all IM race results?)
