Please don't. I do things like that at least 10 times a day.

Well I think LyX is partly responsible. There should be something we
should do to either restrict you from using another title environment or
to at least warn you. I searched for an enhancement request for this but
I can't seem to find it. I thought we had one. If you feel like it, feel
free to open an enhancement request at http://www.lyx.org/trac . Try to
think of what LyX should ideally do if you try to make a second title.

No problem. Hope to see you on the list more!
