Y'know, I'd fully intended to split this thread in two -- one that focuses on the initial question at hand about direct-drive and its merits and a second that focuses on... well, I'm not sure. I couldn't think of a thread title that was less derogatory than, "Fighting over when, how, and why you should mention your past work, who decides if it's worth mentioning at all, and discussing why we feel compelled to tell people it's annoying when overdone -- repeatedly"

The point's been made, I think, and I'm certain that your criticisms of Sanddrag's behavior have been duly noted. Do I need to make y'all play dumb team-building games that make you say things like, "I liked... I didn't like... I wish you would have..."? I'll do it.
