#1: drohc please explain this group of statements. Once again I have no idea what you are trying to say here.
#2: Given that drohc may not be able to explain them himself can anyone else explain them to me.
#3: Your reading comprehension sucks, as you've proven repeatedly, given that you could apparently not read my previous response regarding my racing status and wrote the above last sentance.
I enjoy a challenge. Let me try to interpret this post by drohc.

Apparently drohc feels that his level of participation (or ability?) in events consisting of swimming, biking, and running, qualifies him to call himself a triathlete. Also, he likes to preface this statement by calling you a "Dude."
I think drohc is saying that, because he thinks he is a triathlete, that your arguments regarding an unrelated issue (e.g., whether it is fair that SW competed at nationals in the AG category) are invalid. Thus, he wonders if you will concede that he is right on all points regarding this unrelated issue.

Drohc would like to know which races you will be competing in this year. Apparently, drohc feels that the races you plan to compete in have some bearing on the validity of any arguments you might raise regarding the unrelated issue mentioned above.

Drohc feels that he has not only raised an issue of profound significance to AG athletes, but to "Elite" athletes as well. The "idea surrounding [his] original question" appears to be that certain particularly fast individuals should not be able to compete in the AG category. This, of course, means that these particularly fast individuals would have to compete in the Elite category (if they competed at all). It follows that the Elite category would become more competitive and Elites would now have to not only defeat other Elites, but also these particularly fast individuals who would rather be competing in the AG category. Drohc feels that Elites would fear this new "policy" because they would have to contend with these particularly fast individuals who have been prevented from participating as AG athletes.
Note: In the above interpretation, I'm assuming drohc is a man. I could be wrong though.
I hope this clears up some of what Drohc is trying to say. Please let me know if you need further assistance with interpretations.
