4000 files(?) must be crazy to manage. Is there any kind of templating system at all with them?

Now I come to think of it I guess there may also be a need to keep it in place due to links from other parts of the site.

It isn't so crazy. Imagine that 3900 of those 4000 files never change. Every few years there is a redesign on a section of the site, but some sections haven't changed in 7-8 years.

It's easy to manage a large site that only makes a few changes per week.

I'm going to go ahead and guess search-and-replace is their version of templating?
