I do understand. But as said earlier, where does it stop? What you want is a de-normalization of the database, and while that does offer extra performance, de-normalizing the _entire_ database (because, why would we stop at the creator username?) is a consistency nightmare. What we want is a more flexible way to fetch queries, I guess..
