While this is really helpful; the find would not be for me, as I do understand how find operates and more importantly I understand the command man 'splat'. What I do have is a shop full of folks who do not and it would be easier if I could point them to a specific biniary.

I betcha it would be trivial to take the source code for gnu find and put in a rule never to traverse a directory by a given name.
