We have a surplus of omegatists, and a regrettable dearth of alphatists, who start posts the rest of us can reply to.
Perhaps this is because the last wack at a driven nail is less risky than the first one, wwh. One wack too many only dents the board, unfortunate for the board and those who may appreciate the beauty of its grain, but a matter of no consequence to the heavy-handed pounder. On the other hand, the first wack at a nail calls for skill and some daring. If the hit is misguided, it is one's own thumb which suffers, not the board. Omegatists ruin a lot of good boards, wwh.
