But they are. generally. useful. I use them all the time, and I gave you some general examples of how they are useful, generally. I've no doubt there are more (some of which were mentioned elsewhere in this thread, I do believe). > I remember saying something about "depending on what you're trying to > do." but it appears to have been snipped. Actually, you didn't. The full text of what you wrote was this (portions quoted from other people snipped): On Sun, Feb 11, 2007 at 09:19:48PM +1300, Chris Bannister wrote: > The filenames are cryptic and knowing their name is not generally > useful.

Yes... but your reply sounds dismissive, as if what the OP was asking was ludicrous or stupid, when actually it is perfectly reasonable and in fact not so uncommon. Were it not for that, I'd have stayed out of this thread entirely. So, yeah, apparently I replied just to bust your balls, which I've been being rather good about not doing lately. Sorry. I just really hate being contradicted by people who are completely wrong, and couldn't stop myself. -- Derek D.
