Think before you press "Send?"

Microsoft Word used to have a failsafe "Delete?" button. It would pop up and say "Are you sure you want to delete? Action cannot be undone." Of course, most everyone told the stupid paperclip to bounce off for once and for all.

If I could right code, I would write one that for a "Do you really, really want to send this? Once it's out there, you can't ever, never, no way take it back." That way, when you get diarrhea of the brain and call the majority-elected President of the United States words that I'm not going to repeat, do the same to the Speaker of the House, and make rude comments about Canadians, the UK and France and your little popup pal says "Reply to All? Do you really want to do that?" you can sit back and go "whoa, maybe that's not good an idea". Especially since you tagline is "Blessed are the Peacemakers".

In the meantime, those of us who got spammed by your paranoid diatribe are wondering WTF are you doing with your life? And I, for one, am blocking your emails for ever.
