Heh, I would have hated myself too much to do that. Work is more important than sleep :P

No, no I have not noticed any issues between versions. I have now played most of the levels on the original DOS and GLQuake, I can confirm no differences that are notable at all between them. The DOS version has more technical limitations, Quake kinda is pushing it, so certain levels are quite rough to run in DOSBox. I had a massive rant around the time of Dark Places because it got so horrible during Office Hell. The only downside to later engines is the fact that there is an adjustment factor, as you can speed up the cycles in DOSBox you end up feeling a lot faster in general movement in DOSBox even if the game looks around the same otherwise. Definitely weird to transition between the two.

Yeah, not sure how much I would go out of my way to play it. I remember my misery with playing Wolf 3d commercial levels, I think I touched one and gave up because of how ridiculously empty the map felt. I just started realizing how little Wolfenstein could do, even in comparison to Doom. As I said, I probably would have gotten frustrated with Doom if it wasn't for the fact that it has GZDoom and also has mechanics that are relatively simplistic. It is a lot less of mess in comparison to Duke 3d and whatnot.

Oh, that sounds absolutely brilliant. My company is getting very close to rolling out the database, so lately I have been setting up the server and ensuring backups are stable. I also have been spending a bit of time setting up user level privileges. Of course, because I have recently switched the database to keep the data separate from the layouts it appears that there is some issue going on with the calculation of page names, I will need to figure out a better system on Monday to counter this.

You know, I could be quite the valuable asset at DoomWikia if I actually cared about Doom enough to document everything. I have enough curiosity to check things out and am being entertained enough to actually want to play them, but I still don't find Doom anywhere near the quality of Quake.
