I'd vote for displaying a pop-up message window with the choice given to the user. That is to say, it might be indeed a *stupid user*, but more often I'm experiencing the case where students just didn't noticed their mistake. It might be also a personal choice of the user, in which case you don't want to do things silently (or it might result in plenty of e-mails to the mailing-list asking "how can I put this command off?").

Just my thought though.

HTH. Kind regards.
