We aren't their nannies or parents. No one thanks us for slapping them on the wrists. We've tried it many times, in many ways. It's not a technical issue, no amount of cleverness about how to slap them on the wrists solves the innate problems. 1) You slap the wrong person. The script author is typically not the person getting the warning, or error. The poor victim just wanted to run the software. Lesson for the victim, don't use the platform that doesn't work. 2) Even if it's the right person, it's typically the wrong time. They wanted help writing correct code when they were authoring, not when they are deploying. etc. Keith H.
