Well, this is exactly what you want if you work in an environment where multiple users need read and write access to the same shared files. As to others in your group altering your files, make sure that your home directory's permissions are 700. This way, nobody can even see what is on your Desktop. I work in a research institution where collaboration is key and Apple's insistence on a umask of 022 has caused us quite some havoc. So far, this hint works on files and folders created by the Finder and by MS-Word.
