Operative term is almost. Quick notes to my relatives, however, I rarely
put subjects on. Software isn't there to prevent the user from making
mistakes. Assumptions like that only decrease software's usability, not
increases it. I'd rather make the mistakes than have to confirm everything.
Look at it another way, deleting files in Windows is impossible now
without having at least one and possibly up to 3 different confirmation boxes.
I find that inexcusable.
