“a confirmation
alert, fisked”
the first time around. as someone once said – it’s funny because
it’s true:
“The key thing to remember, as always, is that people
hate alerts. Alerts are the telemarketers of the graphical user
interface. They interrupt what you’re doing, they demand you deal
with them before you do anything else, and they generally make you
feel bad. And the worst variety is the confirmation alert, which
insists you answer a question before you can do anything else.Naturally, answering a question is rather difficult if you haven’t
read the question in the first place. “
