A caution on network-based aliases and the sidebar

Just to let you know that I had the same problem on Tiger. Bot the renaming issue as well as deleting issue (i.e. you had a remote folder on your sidebar, sometimes later you decide you don't really need that *alias* so you press cmd-delete and BOOM, your remote folder is gone... nowhere to be found...)

really, really annoying.

Be *extra* careful with folders on the sidebar!
