Uh....what?

They're asking for a file to be attached and they sent multiple requests?

[dr-atheist.livejournal.com]

Yes, and they appear to want me to defy the CD fiel system and place the files onto the CD in a specific order...

[docskurlock.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, the old, "make mine first, above everyone else"...thing. I hate that.

"I am sorry, the files cannot be placed in any order. You see, the files are constantly moving around inside the disk. This helps protect them in case the disk is damaged. Say the disk gets scratched. If the files are in one place, any file where the scratched area is, gets ruined. This way, the files can avoid that one scratch, and thus still work"

nicely done.

*head* *desk* (repeat)

don't laugh.

them: "You know that CD you gave me with the files on it?"
me: "yeah?"
them: "it won't let me overwrite them with the changes"

or

them: "Can you give me a bigger CD?" (bear in mind here that there's usually less than 10 meg on a cd, and because of equipment stupidity, disks pretty much have to be finalised to be sure of working)
me: "why?"
them: "I went to save my changes to the file and it says there's no space left on the cd"

or

them: "I want my files in a specific order"
me: "preface each filename with a number, starting with either 00 or 01 ..."
them: "I tried that, but it puts chapter 10 right after chapter 1"
me: "_00_, _01_. you need to use two digits"
them: "oh"

Dear client,

In order to process your request properly, I've stapled your file to the top of the CD, making completely sure that it will be the very first one on it.

Enjoy.
