There is a huge difference. I'm not bothered one little bit about logged-in / opt-in users or those who chose to install a plug in. My concern is specifically with a visitor who did not register and have no clue of what's going on.

I wonder how many files with a name containing \n are in the wild. And if you encounter such a file, does it really matter if you accidentally delete it? Waisting brain cycles to save CPU cycles (in the wrong places) is shameful, insulting
