Comment 61 for bug 95853

I find so many parts of this discussion inane.

All that is needed here is an option! Just a simple item in the preferences that allows you to enable an "are you sure" prompt. No change is needed to the functionality of anything. The option can be added unchecked by default and the average user will never notice. This will end this discussion since it will harm no one who doesn't want it and will get the rest of us to shut up. I have absolutely no idea why this is such a big issue. This is one of many bug reports about the same issue that i have followed for almost 6 months now. I gather that some people seem to be offended by the idea of adding this option. I have no idea why.

Some other thoughts:

- We are arguing about the usage of the recycling bin, and it's usefulness, and its functionality. This discussion has nothing to do with this bug/request, since it is a feature that is used differently by different people. Adding functionality to the recycle bin is not going to change the issue.

- We are all different. I personally think the recycle bin concept is silly, and never use it. If i want a file gone, i delete it. I have backups, and if i'm not sure i want to delete a file, i can move it somewhere else myself. Many people would consider this to be a power user mentality, but i also like a prompt when i hit the delete key. Call me a windows user, a newbie, whatever you want. It really doesn't matter. I'm just different... like we all are.

- We have been discussing a whole bunch of added functionality. I find all of this to be unnecessary. Why are we adding fancy features when all people want is an option to have an "are you sure" prompt?
