A discussion is going on elsewhere re "competitiveness" in sessions.(see above).
I'm sure this an anathema to most of us here especially those who emerged through the SMG but sometimes I feel there is a place for allowing some players to express themselves more freely and for new material to be introduced. The other extreme is a LCD where everyone plays at the same speed, mediocre or otherwise, and the repertoire never changes.
While "show offs" are not to be encouraged, some middle ground might be OK depending on the circumstances. Any thoughts?
