But to get back to the point. "meths" is NOT a good word, like crystal meth or whatever, it's almost more a word than "metas" (maybe most people would just use "meta" as a directory name) I mean, most of this discussion has been, pardon my French, bullshit. ..metas/ is still a good solution, it's prefixed in a manner that most stuff is not, the prefix makes sense as being "really hidden" and metas is not as probable a word as meta and it's still easily accessible. Hell, it used to be prefixed like that before it was a unified directory. Whatever. I'm tired. I'm sure everyone has their opinion on this matter and I'm also sure the guys at Namesys are farting blood because of this discussion. Whatever people want as their meta directory name they will patch or macro or edit in. If there's enough dispersion it will be shown in /proc/ or /sys/ or wherever, even if not an environmental variable. Let's be reasonable and concentrate on something more important, like brewing good mead or how to protect the metadata integrity or something. I, for one, will not participate in this thread again. -- mjt
