I hate to pursue this riduculous, boring subject any further, but
does anyone know of any reason NOT to use hierarchical as opposed to
orthogonal protection checking (translation: if world read
permission is on, you can read it even if you are the owner and owner
permission is off....I always thought it was weird that you couldnt,
is there some reason or is it an accident?)
