Do you actually care to read anything then? Don't take me wrong here,
I know that certain popup dialogs are nerv-wrecking (especially if
you're working with Windows) but this case is different.

Here, an "Are you sure?" dialog prevents you from a _total data loss_
which in both cases from my point of view should be avoided at all cost.

And just because you're used to clicking on a dialog that presents you
with a significant and convenient message doesn't mean everybody else
is.

Maybe _you_ should get used to _that_ ;-)

Moritz
