And annoying to those who do that intentionally. While it is good
netiquette it isn't a requirement. There was a time when I was sending 30-40
messages every 3-4 hours to my now ex-fiancee. We were LD, didn't have chat,
so we used email as chat. Why enforce a subject line on that or force the
person to click on a box each time?
"Make it an option" I hear people thinking. Great, so how many
idiot-proofing things are we going to make optional? Trust me, we can put so
many in that we'd have 2-3 screens of options just to control the
idiot-proofing.
Mistakes happen. Unless there is a technical reason to issue a warning,
please, don't issue a warning.
