1: Please DO NOT top post. Replies belong _below_ the quoted text, which
should be trimmed to provide context and not clutter.
2: No. Reading "man chmod" (you _have_ done this already, yes?):
RESTRICTED DELETION FLAG OR STICKY BIT
The restricted deletion flag or sticky bit is a single bit,
whose interpretation depends on the file type. For directories, it
prevents unprivileged users from removing or renaming a file in the
directory unless they own the file or the directory; this is
called the restricted deletion flag for the directory, and is
commonly found on world-writable directories like /tmp. [...]
The manual is your friend.
