That's not insanity, it's just discovering that what was nasty and 
difficult before is now doable. :-)  I really didn't appreciate the 
elegance of Mac resource forks until I created the ".properties" files. 
  I understand NTFS has multiple named forks and other filesystems like 
ReiserFS are developing similar capabilities.  Neat.  Let's use them!
