Ok. What's the magic combo then, that will allow *public to put messages on 
the queue, but not allow *public to answer them? I know I got this to work 
once. I'm just not sure exactly what the solution was. Granted you need add 
data authority to add a reply message, but don't you also need update? 
Replying does modify the original message status, does it not? I'm really 
not sure. I wish I could test it, but alas, I don't have the authority...
