Hi Yes, technically it's not a critical thing, but IMHO showing a popup "The page you're trying to see contains POSTDATA..." is a technical message and should not appear to the user, who is not interested to know about this tech things. For us is something clear and we know how to manage it but there are people who doesn't know what the word POST stands for. The user doesn't know either if clicking again will be harmful for his data or not, so avoiding these kind of decisions it's better for the user experience.
It sounds a bit perfectionist, but as i don't want to show any thrown exception from the application, i don't want to show popups like these either.
