    Generally, yes. But it is not over-statement to say 'sometimes'. I
    have seen this quite a bit. =(. So I try not to pull devices w/o using
    'Safely Remove...'

    I am aware of this, =). I was just commenting that yanking the device

    to have uniform user device control from a gui programmable means.
