UH ... just because you as a human consider abcd and abcd_3 to be the 
same name misses the point that they ARE different file names as far as 
the computer is concerned, as different as you consider Fred and Freda 
different names

However, including the year in the name when in fact these are :the same 
file except for a different year is an EXCELLENT way to go
