	I use tin for posting, but it has the same feature.  Actually, I
choose to take the question seriously ("do you *really* want to post?")
every time I see it.  I don't think it hurts to give one last
consideration.  There have been times, in fact, when after considering for
a moment, I actually said "no, you're right, I *don't* want to post this." 
In this life, and *certainly* on usenet, it's far too easy to make an ass
of oneself.  

	I'm grateful for this feature.  I often wish others would take a
moment to give the question serious consideration rather than just
skipping past it.  Who knows, there may come a day when it saves *your*
neck, or at least your good name. 

	If you know about dejanews, you know that whatever you post 
certainly does *not* forever go away after a few days.  Dejanews is a 
sobering site to visit.  I recommend it to all who find the "do you 
*really* want to post" question an irritation.
