People still calling themselves developers and choosing a language that was created for poor programmers...

OK, just forbid commencial during those 3-minute breaks. Have some other kind of entertainment organised.

This Italian here has never heard nothing like that. Tomato sauce can be simmered for several hours, but there is no refill.

The author is confusing visitors with customers. Refusing entry to 2% visitors? No, no! Forgetting about non-interesting 2% visitors? Not even a blink!

Display a warning and propose to edit instead of blocking the operation: your customers will be happier!
