PlayStation 3 - All Brawn and No Brains
After authoring the previous post, I booted up the PS3 and saw there was a message waiting for me. Old one, let’s delete it.

Several Cell processors yet apparently deleting an email is an operation so fraught with peril that not only should my request be confirmed, I should be notified upon success of such a dire undertaking.
The only thing worse than a needless confirmation dialogs are “success!” messages, like a proud child working hard to please their parents. “Look daddy, I did it!” It’s fine to hear this from your kids, but that should tell you what message you’re sending your users about the confidence you have in your application.
