The owner of an item inside a directory with the sticky bit set can delete his/her own content. The sticky bit protects against one user deleting another's content, unless of course that first user is the directory owner or root. Your explanation of the sticky bit left this part (bit?) out.

I did leave that part out, because I wanted to focus on something else, and that inconsciously forced me to "trim" some parts of my first draft of the post.

Thanks for adding the extra information
In the section "File permissions in the Linux and UNIX world", in the first sentence of the last paragraph is this fragment:

"users members of test_group can only read or execute it (r-w)"

The code for read or execute is "r-x", not "r-w"

To writteninr3d for spotting the typo, of course you're right, sorry!
