timystery at arcor.de got an infinite number of monkeys to type out:

I absolutely agree. That's why I asked if there was just something I could put
in the rcfile. I wasn't too worried about my 'stupidity', just jokin' around,
what I was really concerned about, I guess, is depending on the size of your
panel, you get distracted... accidents could happen to *anyone*, so, to be
honest, I kinda resent the implication. It was a simple question, not an attack
on your project. If your reply was in response to a perceived attack, I
apologize, I didn't mean it that way at all.

> Perhaps an option to exclude mount points by adding them to the config file

That was what I was asking about. If there's an Include, I thought there might
be an Exclude :-)

No problemo. I would very much like to see that kind of info, however, as I
said above, there *are* accidents, nothing to do with stupidity, and so
therefore I believe I had a legitimate question about the risks.

Ah, okay, so it's like John said above, I wouldn't be able to do it anyway,
accidentally or otherwise.

Did not know that, thanks :-)
