Ah... that is why I'm confused. There are three types. I have a
lightweight, and I am sometimes "thwarted" when I try to do something.
Jeremy, are you asking about full, external or lightweight accounts?
External account is (or would be) sufficient for me, I think, because I
often find I am blocked from certain things I try with only a
lightweight account. Strangely, it's hard to remember an example. I'll
let you know if I bump into problems again.
Cheers,
Ste
