Quote - Actually as a new merchant I use the ! in front of my products runtime folders so they "float" to the top of the folder structure, making them easier to find and work with.

1. Why should I want to find YOUR products any easier than some other merchant's products?

2. When all merchants adopt this policy, it becomes inflationary. Using one ! is no longer enough to float to the top. !! won't be sure of getting you there any more. Now we see !!! and !!!! as merchants crazily try to beat each other to the top.

It's a total nonsense, and it will only be stopped when the RMP bans products that perpetuate this abuse.
