I'm not touchy but you carefully cut the relevant part to suit your
purposes, there is nothing to stop anyone defragmenting a memory card.
I have not advocated doing it, just said that you can:
There are no moving physical parts so the time to reach any segment of
data is essentially the same as the time to reach any other so you
won't gain speed. However, it *will* put your files and directories in
a nice and neat order if that is important to you, and order space
contiguously.
One advantage of defragmenting is the file integrity check it does
first, although I did say to run that separately and first. You don't
say anything about that.
Why so snippy?
