| Jan 12, 2012 at 18:29 | comment | added | Avery Payne | This solves the requirement to eliminate the "need a Dialog of Evil(tm)" issue, while accomplishing the original goal - to break their "concentration" (or lack thereof). It will stop them in their tracks, and make them wake up for a second instead of slamming the [Enter] key. In all other conditions, they can go about work as normal without interrupting their work flow. Great response. | |

So it's going to break their normal flow, causing them to either hit enter again because they expect a different prompt (and cancel the print) or stop to read the prompt and pick the correct choice. | |
