You know, I noticed this a while back – and without thinking further assumed the clever naming referred specifically to those *named* files, rather than the other files in that directory... Sort of a meta-instruction.
Pretty silly really considering they're all 1k but there you go :) |
What, you didn't know? I think that this is excellent approach for warnings to not delete files or these files are copyrighted or something else that could get you in trouble if you did. |

That's what I thought when I saw that at first. Perhaps they should be more specific – i.e. "the files in this folder" rather than "these files". |
This is pretty old.. saw this first in the p2p software Soulseek..!! saw it bout 3-4 years back!! |
Yeah, it's there from the day 1 of GDS, around 20050227. |
Looks like the old ftp messages that sysops would use back in the day...I still use techniques like this to move items to the top of my directory structure so I don't have to hunt and peck for oft used directories. |
