Default gear shifting

i was wondering...

does agressive gear shifting damage your transmission in a manual? by that i dont mean waiting til you hit 5k+ rpms before movin to the next gear, but if you shift from 2nd to 3rd in 0.0036 secs (i made that up, but you get my point). ive got friends who say they take their time moving their shifter from gear to gear 'cause they dont wanna hurt the tranny, and others who just slam it from a gear to the next 'cause they dont believe it'll do much harm. i personally am somewhere inbetween. i cant deny the fact that i love a nice, clean *snick* everytime i shift... >:]
