I like the nail story. I also have a wisdom tale from Beethoven - the cartoon: his master had a problem with the correspondence; he went to the pet store to buy a mail box to stand against Beethoven taste for letters. The salesman told him, he had one for $20, one for $50 and one for $150. "To save some money, I'll recommend you the one that is $150". I should not tell you the rest of the story.
If you still thing that after I spent one year in this sheet with storing file names in a database and files in the file system, doing all kind of benchmarks, and going through all kind of troubles until I've finally accepted that blob fields are there to be used - is just a meatier of taste, please tell me after one year what did you understood from my cartoon story (go to Blockbuster - maybe you'll see the rest of the story before benchmarking the file system crap!)

You are quite right, and that's my point. It's a matter of taste. It is common for people to become familiar with one tool and like it so much that they start to use it in situations where another approach would be better. A common example is the widespread use of shreadsheets as databases. If the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem you see looks like a nail.
