9/10    no security on soda? I wrote a private personal thank you
        note in my own directory, next thing i know it's posted on
        motd. I guess we can't keep anything personal or private
        on soda.
        \_ permissions?
           \_doh!
           \_ even if permissions are not set to user only, you might
              want to respect their privacy and not snoop around.  Just a
              thought.
              \_ for there to be an invasion of privacy, there has to be an
                 attempt to have kept it private.  leaving your files world
                 readable in no way sets the expection of privacy
              \_ and we should avert our eyes from your window when you're
                 singing, naked, with the blinds up...  If you can't figure
                 out file perms, don't expect anything to stay private.

              on the other hand, in the spirit of this being a community
              (kind of), I generally dislike nazi'd permissions.  If you have
              really sensitive stuff, it shouldn't be on soda.csua in the
              first place.
              \_ where should it be, then?
