On the contrary, I'd say people with MQDs that low are the people DL wants to stop targeting.

(Yes, I know it's just a turn of language and we're saying the same thing.)

+1. Also, do we really need another thread comparing 2014 to 2015? There are already multiple threads with people throughout both generalizations and specific comparisons, and as someone else said, continuing to track the comparison serves little purpose other than to give you heartburn if you're on the losing end.
