(I'm willing to add more of these 'q' links if you like. Just ask...)

"Managable" for who? It wouldn't be "managable" for ME to have HUGE
directories with tons of files, all of which had short, meaningless
names!!! The 'q' directory is where I keep "short URLs" (which are just
_links_ to other files and directories on the site) with the idea to
keep "all garbage in one place", without it affecting the directory
structure in any way.

Well, both ways work, both ways are correct, which one I tend to use
depends on how easy it is to write the '~' character on the particular
keyboard I'm using at the moment...
