And meanwhile you are so much better off just deleting your
own files...   I'm sure you'll be thrilled that the OS is
still intact and running after that happens.   While I agree
that this is a 'best practices' thing and probably worthwhile
in a multiuser scenario, I'm not sure its worth the extra
effort when the user you normally run as has write access to
everything that can't easily be reinstalled anyway.
