Robert,

Given my aim is to present an alternative view, but not to impose this
on anyone who does not appreciate its merits, I like pointing out only
what I believe has been grossly mistated or incorrect:

If this were true, the notion of privilege or levels of privilage in
operating systems would meaningless.

You may not see them, but I do and we just have to agree to disagree.

[I tend to work towards clients requirements and not redefine them.
When they say they want to do this, I just show them how to.]

Cheers,
