[vorbis] Why the commotion about file extensions?

[Jens Prüfer]

Hello again,

orry for this endless discussion. I did not want to start a flame-war here.

To sum it up: I really do not care what extensions you chose. I will never 
rely on them anyhow :)

But please do not use the "_" (underscore) in the extension. It makes it 
clumsy and Windows-Users do not know what that funny letter is for anyhow and 
would probably put in blanks instead.

A >3 letter extension will probably abreviated to 3 letters anyhow. Just think 
of .mpeg vs. .mpg files. So I guess you should stick to three letters, 
allthough four letters is much more elegant. After all: When has Windows been 
about elegance before ;)

Ah, don't respond to that rhetorical question, please. Feel free to comment on 
alt.linux.sux ...

Cheers

Jens
