Sorry for the travesty of English - I've got the flu, and on rereading this I
see I'm not typing clearly. That should have read:

        The problem is that VFAT doesn't have any concept of ownership
        or permissions.  Therefore you get to make some of you own
        to apply to the whole partition, which take effect at mount
        time. So you can have the whole partition owned (and/or group
        owned) by whomever you like, with whatever permissions, but you
        can't tune anything smaller.

I suppose the solution would be to close the composition window and let
my article sit for half an hour or so once I've finished with it, and
then go back and proofread it once more.  But that would be a pain in
the proverbial bifurcated derriere.  Part of the experience of flaming is
to load a searing missive into the conceptual breech of my SPARCcannon
and pull the imaginary lanyard whilst flushed with the adrenaline of mortal
combat.
