I think you made your opinion on this issue quite clear before, even
in the same thread where I discussed adding the warning, so it's a
bit... silly? ridiculous? for you to suddenly show such indignation.

That said, if you cool off a bit, perhaps you could wait until the
delayed warning issue is decided, and then we can change the warning
so it still exists, but users can deactivate it from their .emacs...
Sorry, I mean from their _emacs.

Well, Spain is nowhere near the States in this regard (and I proposed
and added the warning) so I think your analysis is... silly?
ridiculous? out of the line?

The users you are trying to protect can avoid that warning with

  C:> ren _emacs .emacs

Hard, isn't?
