It depends on how frequent the action that you're wrapping in a safety check is. Deleting files, absolutely. I'm not a fan of the alias rm to rm -i approach. But printing documents is not as routine of an action, and printing documents that the author thinks shouldn't be printed is even rarer. I don't think that's the kind of warning that becomes mind-numbing. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
