Huh, having separate append permission is interesting. i didn't realize that was an option.
Yep, there's actually quite a few more than what I mentioned, if you get into the advanced dialogs.
IMO, it's unnecessarily complicated, but given that NTFS is used for network file sharing in large companies, I get why it's so crazy. They probably demand those kinds of granular permissions.
I know Linux is a lot simpler. Just read/write/execute, and a single group, single owner, and a setting for "everyone else" kind of thing, which is generally sufficient for 90% of use cases.
