I, for one, cannot believe an issue was made out of an non-issue. Each user having their own group ADDS to the security granularity. it does not restrict it. What is really needed is the ability to limit access to a file on a per user account basis (acls), not by locking down via a group permission. John is creating an issue out of a non-issue.
