That would be almost as useful as the app for my phone which prevents me
from making calls if it detects i've had too much to drink :)

That was uncalled for, and I apologize to the firefox developers.
They are doing good things in a global software ecosystem which
places little value on standards compliance, complexity management,
backwards compatability, or rigor.  They are competing with M$
eructations that are fast because they skip the code checks.

In such a dangerous environment, survival can depend on
abandoning the old and the weak, and not looking back.

Perhaps I need another piece of code which automatically holds
any email sent after midnight until I've confirmed it 8 hours
later.  That would help with sleep-deprived oropedal insertion,
and might be helpful for security, too.
