Dave,
I've decided over the years that I'll suffer the occasional
self-inflicted dope slap just to avoid having to jump through three
levels of warnings for certain things. If I want to delete a file, I
want to delete it NOW, dammit...
I've even un-aliased all my "rm's" in all my .xxxxrc files to get
rid of the damn "-i" feature Ubuntu and Redhat seems to have stuck in to
the etc version of that file (or if it's my own desktop I just go to the
system file and delete or comment out that stupid line).
