    Hey, thanks for the good description, a little lightbulb went on over my
    head after I read that last sentence, I always wondered why some people did
    their permissions that way, it seemed overly complicated. I've always added
    the domain groups directly, now I think I see the point of doing it the
    other way. (although my network is small enough that there isn't any point
    since it won't make any speed difference)
