Okay, anybody who builds support websites (which isn't anybody reading this, I don't think; I'm talking code structure rather than look-and-feel): if you have, on your website, a little popup kind of thing that says, basically, "please write us a short essay telling us how we can better serve you", with a place for the user to enter contact info so they can get a response, and if the user clicks "send" but there's something wrong so you have to change the popup to say "sorry, you need to pick a category for this question", and you DON'T copy the information from the textbox into the new popup, so that the little mini-essay the user wrote explaining the problem is now completely lost?

Then please set your own head on fire, so that I don't have to do it for you.

Because I am running out of matches.

is it OK if I add a button to the "sorry, you need to pick a category for this question" popup that reads "Set my head on fire for not copying your text into this popup"?

As long as it actually sets the programmer's head on fire, yes.

well, of course. otherwise it would be fraudulent.
