I've been following this thread, and I'm not really sure which side of the 
issue I'm on, but this, sir, is one of the worst explanations for a feature. 
Ever heard of 'less'?  or 'more' on Windows?  Maybe piping to a file?  Maybe 
using an IDE that stores all the warnings/errors for you?

Please stop saving poor Mr. ignorant programmer from himself.  Education is 
the key to solving this problem, not catering to the ignorance.

Sorry for the harshness, but seriously!
