No worries! Are you by any chance a Windows Admin? Sorry just joking!
Well that will definately work (as you've discovered). The implications of your method are that anyone with access to your server (ie any user) can do anything to files/folders in /var/www. If that's not an issue then its probably not really a problem, although I like to stick with the philosophy of allowing the minimum access required to do the job (as opposed to the default user account in Windows - which in fairness is getting better).
Yep, just like a big stick! :)
