+1 to Linnea for her brief history review and also the conception of the other option, although i must say that i prefer to make it the way i proposed it because i would prefer not to produce confirmation pop ups... they're kinda annoying IMHO...
+1 to Joe for pointing out one of the major reasons or situations where people will click/enter without thinking or inadvertently...
about the coloring, i would agree to the notion that currently light's color format is a bit ineligible, but IMHO it is a negligible condition...
