Oh, when I say "we support" I of course mean the royal "we", where the
idea of changing file permissions (or using encryption) to keep
another user from accessing a file is an approach that is generally
encouraged and supported since it's solving the problem closer to its
root.
Sorry if I confused anyone, and sorry for the extra noise. Just
