Actually, I should withdraw my "vote". I never use the trigger warning. As long as it's going to be a VOLUNTARY courtesy, it should be decided by people who do use it or rely on it.
BUT... I do have an aesthetic opinion if it is used. As SG says...
> maybe not with the phrase "red alert" - it's too terrorist threatish, star trekky
...maybe a nice tiny icon? Instead of words or confusing abbrevs. Maybe a little caution light? Like this, but smaller http://www.merokee.com/sys-tmpl/nss-folder/scrapbook/Traffic%20Light%20Yellow.jpg or this http://apache.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/document/sources/httpd-2.0.45-html/source/srclib/apr/images/caution.gif maybe without the exclamation point...?
