Well, myself, I appreciate both formats. :)  If I am searching for a
CDA/NDA/whatever, it would be nice to have it in that particular folder.
However, it's also nice to have things categorized by author so that, if I
know a particular author has made a product but I can't remember the exact
name, I can find it without having to weed through 100 CDA's.

If it could be organized so that both formats exist side by side, then
that would be great (with aliases for files in the subjected folders to
the files in the author's folder, or vice versa).

Just my 2 kbytes/sec,
