Well, K.T., it may well have done so. I don't recall. Whatever 
happened, it didn't forcefully enough make me sit up and realize what 
I might be doing as I proceeded. Yep, as part of a train of what I 
might call "anticipatory steps" one (at least speaking for myself) 
wants to get on with the immediate task at hand and never mind the 
"lead-ups".

There's something psychologically askew here about tying so closely 
that irreversible deletion decision to  getting on with a more 
immediate task (getting an MP3 made). Granted, this applies only to 
idiots like me. We folks need a picket fence set up to protect us 
from our own immediately pressing myopic concerns.
