   For a project I noticed my Arduino PWM pump controller (basically just an   
   Arduino, MOSFET, and protection diode) was behaving oddly, so I powered the   
   pump directly from the 12V power supply, turning it off and on as needed   
   manually.   
      
   I looked more closely at my breadboard, and noticed the drain and source were   
   touching.  The circuit had been running for a few minutes this way.   
      
   Did I damage my MOSFET, or is this ok?   
      
   Thanks,
