Dude...

ls -R is recursive.

ls -r is reversing the order.

If you're gonna play 'Answer Gang' you've gotta get it right.

Oops. I use recursive more than I use reverse, and tend to hit the shift key without thinking
about it.

At any rate, I tend to view LWN as the gold standard, and have long been underwhelmed by
LG.

I think that would be a violation of the spirit of 'Answer Gang.'

Well, if he'd submitted it to the Gazette, we editors would have corrected his error. ;-)

Or, at least, discussed it extensively. :-)
