Miss Nancy I'm sorry but I have to take exception to your comment:
they may only volunteer as testers to get free items, and not to do serious problem-fixing.

I work as a volunteer tester both for a Poser store and for several merchants on a private basis.  I do this voluntarily and as a tester it is your duty to actually break the damn things whereever possible.  I recently spent 5 hours on one outfit mesh test to cover every eventuality I could think of.  At work I earn £8 an hour so that would be £40 just for the initial test alone and not taking anything else into account, like the fact it was a Sunday and I get paid double time if I have to do the office thing on a Sunday.  You do not get free product for testing, you get minor compensation for your time by being allowed to keep the pack and in cases such as characters, clothing and scenery then it woudl be more cost effective to just buy the thing on release.  You test for the love of it, and quite possibly because you are anal as hell   I know you were talking about one specific mind set but I can't help myself, it is a knee jerk reaction whenever I hear or readanything like that.

As a merchant I always put all my textures in a nested structure starting with VLF and then in folders that relate to the product they are for and my texture pack name.  Since the beginning of this year I now have an extra folder in there for the base figure they are for, G2, Miki 2 etc..  I do the same with my Read Mes as well.  Basically I organise my products in the way I find works for me best as an end user and how I like to have the products I buy laid out.

Sorry, I can't remember who it was that requested merchants include their websote addresses in their Read Mes.  Unless your site does not sell anything then you are not allowed to, if you look through the submission guidelines there are a lot of rules about what can and cannot be in your read me.

Non-specific file names are a pain in the front bottom, they really and truely are the bane of my life.  blue, green, peach all drive me close to insanity - especially when it applies hair to your eyes and vice versa.  My texture names are sually rather long but hey they are unique and yu can tell from looking at them who made them, what pack they go with and if it is a texture, bump, displacement, specularity or transparency map without ever having to open it.  Then again, I am truely anal grin
