warning message before loading

I must've have gotten a brain tumor or something because since 1.3 was released I've managed to load probably every other time I want to save. It's an automatic behavior programmed into me by 10 years of pc gaming: When you save, you double click on the file whereupon the game asks you whether or not you want to overwrite said file, and if that's what I want to do I click yes. In GalCiv2 I click my way to the save/load screen and double click on the file I want to save over. I then proceed to express profanities, throw heavy objects around the room and generally just rage for the ten minutes (no kidding) that it takes the game to load, and then load again from the latest saved game. Thank God for auto- and quicksave otherwise there'd be casualties by now.

For the love of Butterflies! Add a warning message when loading so that this doesn't have to happen! Please! For the sake of my sanity!!

I've also loaded when I meant to save. Besides the time spent waiting for the game to load, there's also the time spent on turns lost because they weren't saved. After being burned by this, I'm generally a bit more careful when I go to save a game, but because this game is so addictive, I'm often very tired when I finally do save the game before going to bed. A "Do you really want to load this?" message would be a nice thing to add.

or you should say:

do you really really want to LOAD this game? LOAD?
