You know even though the "?" works, but I never thought it is a good
idea.

The user is probably typing fast into a 1000 different windows and there
probably will be a lot of extraneous characters sent by him first to the
thing that is expecting the question mark, before he notices he is being
asked something.

So I would have the whole error message presented to him, with an 'Got
that, Holmes? (type a full "yes" to acknowledge)' style showstopper,
before letting him proceed, as failed copies are a serious matter.
