But hell, it would be *EXACTLY* the same if TextEdit happened to use exclusive access (God forbid!), and then A quit TextEdit, somewhat later B opened and changed the same file. This problem has *nothing* to do with exclusive or non-exclusive access when file is open!

It is about access rights: if you want your changes safe, don't allow others to edit your files. That's that, and it's *COMPLETELY* *CLEAR* even for my granny (when explained on a simile that anybody can rubber out your writing if you let him to play with the paper on which you wrote that).
