What's in a name?

[Kelen]

I've never had any problem with either how I name files, or how my opponents do. As such I've never seen this as an issue, and therefore I see no point in trying to force everyone to adopt a common naming convention.

Anyway, If a common naming convention is adopted I'm sure certain people will abide by it, but what's going to happen to people who don't, nothing! Therefore you'll soon see people slipping back to naming files how THEY prefer.

As with numbering files though, I'm in total agreement with Extraordinarius. Numbers are a must for me, and the single point that they DON'T automatically overwrite the previous file means that, (as has happens a few times in the past), when either I've received a corrupt file, or someone's PC's gone kaputt, I've still got an earlier file from which we can recover the game, makes common sense to me.

It also means that I can easily tell when If i've actually sent a certain file to someone and exactly when, (useful for when there's been delays and file have gone missing.
