That’s not to say I didn’t do research on them; it’s merely to say that I didn’t have to. It was optional, not obligatory, and any dirt I discovered I saved for myself. Sometimes it’s just nice to know what you can know. Other times it’s nice to use what you know. In any case, though I didn’t necessarily need to add to my files, I often did. Almost out of nostalgia’s sake—almost, but not quite.
