Being polite is a standard that has to apply to all.
I consider the original post not to be.
To me I see an outstanding example of laziness from somebody who
obviously needs no consideration in the accessibility department.
Scrolling an alphabetically arranged file system doesn't even qualify as
trivial.
It can be accomplished as quickly as you can move your hand.
The use of find and/or locate will dig up anything, no matter how deeply
hidden in a plethora of directories.
If that is insufficient and the standard has to be established in an
instance where an iron lung is in use, direct a bug report to the
appropriate quarter, which I have already supplied, where they can put
it at the far end of a list behind things that really need doing.
Kind regards,
Harry.
