Yes, the info is in the readmes. But a lot of people don't read them. At least judging from the questions posted to the Poser forum.

When there are more exclamation marks than fingers, you know somebody's ego is involved.

I don't think that's necessarily true. So many people are using !! now that it's not enough to make a file pop to the top.

And that, I think, is a big part of the problem. We've a !!!! arms race going here. Even it is just to make it easier for the merchant to find the product while working on it on his own hard drive, it should be fixed before it's put in the store. It's getting ridiculous.

My personal preference is for all the files related to the product to be similarly named, so they are close to each other in my runtime. When you've got hundreds of items in your runtime, you don't want to be scrolling up and down for the MATs, INJs, poses, etc. For example, I renamed all my MilCat folders. Instead of DAZ MilCat and MAT MilCat, which results in a lot of real estate between the folders, I call the the folders DAZ MilCat Poses and DAZ MilCat MATs. That way, they are right next to each other in my runtime. I'm likely to be applying poses and textures at the same time, so that's convenient for me.

Maybe Poser 6 will offer the ability to rename files and folder "on the fly"...
