[KLUG Members] Group permissions change when a file is modified by non-owner

[Tony Gettig]

I don't mean to be rude, or maybe I do, but have you ever...even  
once...used Google yourself to look for an answer? The only value in  
replying to you is that the answer is then published and searchable  
for others to see in the future. Most of the questions you ask have  
been answered before by somebody, somewhere, and the answer is  
usually google-able.

This post will probably bite me in the rear, but I can't be the only  
person wondering this.

I apologize in advance for being off topic and nearly flame-able.
