Aww jeez. I thought the whole point of sudo was to veer away from using root to
 
do anything (since using root is shunned upon and super duper evil according to
 
some). So now when you use sudo it defaults to your root directory anyways? 
Pfft. That's why I never use sudo. If I need root, I'll su to it. If not, I'll 
stay as a regular user. :)

Regards,
Nick
