Right - so it just boils down to how you define 'Public' - and you 
confirmed that these were not actually 'public' folders as *I* would 
define them, but folders that individuals had shared.

I would describe Public Folders as folders that were created and 
adminstered by the sys admin(s), for use by people in the company. 
Certainly, allow them deletion in down-level folders if desired, but 
they shouldn't be able to delete the parent shares.

So we are on the same page most likely... :)
