Saving data to stacks via CGI

[Alejandro Tejada]

Hi all,

experimenting with cgi,
i was able to save data
from a html form (in a webpage)
to a stack in the cgi folder.

this new data could be stored
in the stack custom properties
or fields.

only had to use this line
(before the line: stop using the stack)
to save the new data:

save this stack

and information uploaded from
the webpage is stored in the stack
for later retrieval or processing.

this is great, but just noticed
that this option is not included
or recommended in any message, tutorial
or page about using cgi in this platform.

Does exist risks for data loss when 
multiple users save data to one stack
in the cgi folder?

Does exist the real possibility that many
users try to write the stack at the same
time and erase other users contributions
or (worse) damage the stack?

For example:
in this mail list, when two users post
a message at the same time, (have seen
this many times) these two messages are 
fused in one large message, but just the
subject of the first message appears in the 
digest's list of messages subjects.

Does anyone had test the safety of multiple 
writes from different users to a stack in 
the cgi folder while using their Revolution
CGI setup?

Thanks in advance.
