Well, there were no other factors *presented* alongside the blanket
statement that spaces in filenames are unnecessary, so it would appear
on the face of it to be an accurate assessment of the claim being made,
which wasn't in a post of yours to begin with.

And I'd still like to know who died and made whom king where filenames
and spaces therein are concrned.
