That's the point, checking effective permissions for "user2" shows us that
the delete permission is turned _off_ and the user shouldn't be able to do
anything with the file let alone _delete_ it. Yet it can..please try this
for yourself. You won't even have to make a second user, just deny all
permissions to your own account and you will still able to delete it.
