I believe that statement belongs into the nonsensical-remark dept., thank you

The operator group is a very convenient solution for many permission-problems
on a very common case of FreeBSD usage: A private desktop system with exactly

that such a system is what we're talking about when the OP talks about
playing audio-cds.
