You're off your rocker ;-)

Okay, seriously, making user object inherit from folders

1. locks people into having a member folder for each user. That may not
be the case...
2. forces all the member folders to exist in acl_users, maybe not a good
thing

This lack of flexibility, IMHO, is a Pretty Bad Thing (tm)

cheers,
