Normally you sell that stuff to vendors, but a few can't be sold. And some of those are both common and useless (looking at you, AQ40). You end up typing "DELETE enter" reflexively and without thinking. There goes that. | |

The strongest protection for such irreversible and potentially harmful actions is to require the user to type "DELETE" into a textbox. | |
