Comment:
The issue is two-fold. First, some systems have a character limit on
filenames (255 on BSD if I remember). Second, it's difficult to manually
and visually distinguish between underscored files. Put 30 avatar_.jpg
files like avatar____.jpg avatar_____.jpg. Then when one has to delete the
correct one by hand for some reason, a mistake becomes extremely easy vs
deleting avatar_15.jpg Also, at what point will the database max out on
the file length? It is my opinion that the repeated underscore may be
simple and fast, but they are by far not effective when an application has
to scale.
