People stop reading right there. SEN doesn't approve of map unprotection. And there are ways for PCFredZ to get his map open if he wants to.
(I forgot to add this again [my original post died when the server went down]: If you want to view someone's triggers in a protected map, you can always use Trigger Viewer, which is available in our DLDB.)
