Apples and Oranges..

If you use sh...  In the command line.   as


sh ./filename     The file does not need to be executable.

if you do

./filename     You need to have the  x bit set...


And I agree with you.. When I write shell scripts I use a .sh extension.
Just to make it easy on myself.. It help me identify .sh from .txt files..
