Whoa, dude, cool your jets. That wasn't an attack on anyone, I was just trying 
to point out that maybe we were getting a bit obsessive (well, ok, in this 
business you have to be a bit obsessive, but..) over an, as you point out, 
initailly simple and straight-forward question. Although the security concerns 
you both pointed our are, no doubt, of great importance under certain 
circumstances, I sincerely doubt that this was one of them, or that the 
initiator of the conversation was as concerned about obscure ways somebody could 
conjure to defeat the immovability as they were about how movement 
permission-checking takes place in a general sense.

Hey, wait a sec. What am I saying?! This place is WAY to boring. I know! 
LET'S START A FLAME WAR. <G>. <j/k>.

Sorry.

TTYL..
