Yeah well homeboy consider the case of emacs shell-mode as it offers line buffering vs. character buffering, ideal for transpacific site administration. As one can not be exactly sure if "rm bla*" got sent intact as sometimes has been my experience (bits of prompt sent, bits of command not sent, but what can you demand it this cut and paste world), it's nice to have the remote side ask you "are you sure?". Indeed, even if I was using xterm, you never know what bumping the mouse the wrong way might send from the current clipboard. Maybe SPACE RETURN just when the cursor was in the wrong spot. And of course for we Geritol clubbers, what if one becomes deceased and one's chin hits SPC and nose hits RET. Do you want to be remembered by your community club as that guy who deleted all the files?
