OK, now the discussion is upside down!
The directory approach is not to facilitate the
user to manually ravage around with the files,
altho that's a positive side-effect.

The directories are used by Gnus to organize
the material so you can access it thru the Gnus
interface!

So for example, I'll just yank mine:
