Through my vast experience of reading and collecting G-philes, I have learned of manytopics depicted within files. Just as well, I have been misguided by "fraudulent philes". he authors of these files can be classified by at least one of the following catagories...
a: Needed to write a phile to attempt to please his favorie SysOp. b: Didn't have much if any actual experience with his topic. c: Needed to build a collection for trading. d: I just a plain geeky asshole.
Since we're not all geeky assholes who write fony philes, this would just classify th minority. The following compilation focuses mainly on philes written by non-geeky assholes (i. just geeks or assholes) in contrast to the elite group of unpronounced "REAL G-PHILE AUTORS" (until now). Let us now venture into the heart of this file...shall we?

- Doesn't abuse The World of ASCII Art
- Doesn't use ascii art if he obviously has an infinite ack of talent
- Keeps his phile exclusive to a few select BBS's to incease its bartering power
- Has already written numerous files

...But since I already have enough enemies, I won't name the those "writers" who inspred the making of this file.
