Subject: Moderator note about file names

I've corrected this file name.

Please don't use spaces or punctuation in file names. It may
prevent the viewing of the file. The only allowed characters are
letters, numbers, dash - and underscore _ and the only period
should be the one just before the file extension. These are OS
rules, not my rules.

If you need to make it more readable by separating the words, do so
by using a - or _ or by capitolizing the first letter of each word.

really-long-file-name.pdf

Not like this: really long file name.pdf as this will make links
break, or show up as really%20long%20file%20file%20name.pdf
