I tell everyone not to use spaces or special characters. But allas
cyberspace won. Even MS eliminated spaces in system folders.
Case sensitive file names also burn my a##. It's an accident waiting to
happen. In my humble opinion case sensitive file names is one of those
"Looks good on paper" type of things.

After years of dealing with multiple platforms, I've decided that the

Having been bitten by this more times than several, I concur. But you
can't always count on users to follow this rule. So I'd expand that to
"don't ever do it yourself, but code defensively because there are
idiots out there driving on the information highway".
