To all merchants and designers who are using exclamation marks in attempt to put their folder at the top of the Library list, give us a break!!!!!! You guys have gotten as bad as Photoshop filter designers in trying to grab the spotlight. Think of the people who are using your products, not your own glory. After all, you're designing for your customers who purchase your stuff, not yourself. You'll get glory from creating quality products that adapt well to the work habits of those who use them, not from being at the top of the list, out of alphabetical order. I can understand using exclamation marks to put the INJ and REM files up at the top of a folder, but the rest is pure confusion when it comes to workflow. The same holds for merchants who plaster FREE on every file and folder that they give away. It makes the designer look like there are really serious issues with stooping to make free content. Good PR comes from being gracious, not blatant. Yeah, it's a hard way to make a living, but don't shoot yourself in the foot trying to get attention with bad habits that the users find annoying. It's self-defeating when you annoy who are those paying you.
