Silly comment but "..by working through the table in normal reading order, right to left, top to bottom.." shouldn't be left to right ? --Eloy Lafuente (stronk7) 16:01, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

"Inherit"
I've been planning to read this page for a long time and found it very helpful. However I would suggest 1. the link between "not set" and "inherit" (as used in the page) is not made explicitly at any point. So when it says, "When you override permissions, only use permissions Allow and Prevent where you actually need them. Leave everything else set to inherit." it could be more apparent that this actually means "Leave everthing else set to "Not set". 2. In the paragraph "Does this calculation make sense?" is it worth adding a 3rd bullet, along the lines of "In many cases, neither of the above will be the case. In which case, the capability (if not set elsewhere) is Not allowed. --Dave ches 16:01, 07 February 2010 (UTC)
