Anyway. In case one wanted to do a little chown'ing above and beyond the scope of most necessity again, the proper way to deal with the -R recursion nightmare is by executing it on .??* and ??*.
That will, of course skip anything that has a 2-character name, but that's usually okay, because it will keep you from recursively chown'ing "..".
Just in case nobody comes out and says it..
