I'd agree with that for displayable files (HTML, images, etc.).  I'm not
sure about executables (CGI, etc.).  There's risks with them as the root
user, and the Apache user.  Is there a good/better way to employ them?

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
