There is plenty of room on a bolt (hanger and glue in) for both a quick link and a quickdraw. The half dozen i have at the moment. 2 are WLL 1760lbs.. which are look pretty damn close to the 2 i have that are rated 25kn closed, 10kn crossloaded. the other i have is rated 22kn and thinner than the others. still fucking bomber.

I'm not sure why you're defending this practice. You want n00bs to think this is a good idea and carry it over to smaller areas that they might climb at? Not every area gets the same traffic as Rumney.

that was one of a few suggestions .A valid one too. If you dont send one you cant do you wont bail and leave anything behind .Rite?

Also. after a year or 2 of climbing I'm sure you will find multiple bail biners & make them yours. I Tend have at least one bail biner on my harness all the time, plus using one to hold my chalk bag to my harness. which makes 2.
I seem to only find shitty hardware store quick links that aren't good for anything but going in the trash.

Yes, but the object of sportclimbing is to climb hard for you routes.
How do you ever find out what a hard for you route is without getting on them?
What do you do if you don't know the grade?
What do you do if the grades are jacked or you are climbing really well?
So many people poo-poo stickclips. They don't understand them, and likely don't understand sport climbing either.

It is so hard to tell when a joke is made via the Internet. That one suggestion was a joke. If the rest of the suggestion didn't make that seem clear "my bad". OF-course one needs and should push them self. My intended point was when you see a cool trick like that, maybe ask the person who did it rite then. They might take ten minutes of there day and SHOW YOU.(see the caps just raised my voice to emphasize a point) Also the point of that statement was if you are worried about bailing on a route and loosing a piece of gear maybe you should top rope it as a second first. It is the Internet and interpretation is ruff.
