OK, it's the place they are always stored. I want to know *why* any
temporary file is ever stored in the main directory if a site other than
said directory has been designated for temporary files.
A log is a different matter; logs are for debugging, and need to be
permanent so you *can* see what happened when.
The Klu Klux Klan always wears robes; that doesn't make it appropriate
behavior ... at least not around me!
