fine-grained permission - "user problem"

One of the shortcomings that SPS2003 had is the lack of item-level permission. Customers always fussed about that limitation but still, it served as one of the best selling point to push the customers to upgrade to the new MOSS 2007.

This powerful add-on capability in MOSS 2007 yet, confused a lot of people including myself. I created a folder and a subfolder, breaking the permission relationship in between. I removed the access group #1 from the folder and to my surprised, access group #1 was removed from subfolder as well although the realtionship was broken ! Hail, it seem like the fine-grained permission was so buggy.

I posted a new thread in MSDN forum. No reply for the past few days. I searched in the google and cannot get any hints or tips as well. The rule of the thumb is, if no one except you got this problem, it's a typical "user-problem". And, really, I finally found explantion to that.

Guess there's a lot of people was laughing when saw my thread at MSDN. Sorry, "user problem" again
