You know that "-f" and "be careful" are opposing actions?
Skip the -f and proceed. Oh, and unalias "rm"; RH systems ship
with an alias to always supply a -i option to "rm", and that
in turn promotes this dangerous overuse of the -f option.

Personally, I find blinking text on a page to be extraordinarily annoying and
my first instinct is to back up one page, right away.
