I really don't think this has anything to do with "l33t s41lz".  It has to do with 
established best standards, worked out over a great period of time by people 
better-experienced than you or me.  There's enough documentation out there to support the 
stance of those of us (really, everyone but you and Drew) who hold that running as root is 
significantly more risky than running as non-root.  That you want to ignore it really 
leaves us with nowhere to turn, but you might as well argue that the world is flat, that 
the world was created by a giant bunny, that people should never take medicine when they 
are sick or that jumping off tall buildings is a good idea because we could get hit by a 
bus if we don't.
