Actually I did *not* write that; someone else wrote it in response
to my post to the list.

I'm not about to impose my definition of "sensible names" on my user
community. We provide a computing, file storage, and file transfer
utility service, and not some procrustean bed into which we force all
the users by stretching the short ones and trimming the long ones.

It's there so that they can get *their* work done, and where we don't
have to get in the way, we have no business getting in the way.

Again, your shop may be different. Those are the rules for *my* shop.
I wrote them over a period of 25 years.
