Subject: RE: Shutdown Abort

I think a lot of people are just scared of the word "abort", no matter how you explain it. Perhaps they'd be less resistant if it was changed to something less frightening like "shutdown norollback", or "shutdown immediate_and_i_really_mean_immediate" :)

I am really surprised and disappointed by the wild theoretical conjecture that accompanies the steadfast resistance to 'abort'.
