Hi Paul --

Absolutely. There are psychological forces at work here. By having an Alerts button that they can click at anytime, they don't have the error shoved in their face when they want to Save or do whatever. It's like your car: It's a lot nicer to see a "Gas Low" warning light before you run out of gas.

> I understand where you're going with that, but what's the difference between a button they have to click and an automatic message? Is it just the way the "message is worded"? One is just less obnoxious than the other?
