The only question in Wilson Chan's original post was "Is there a way to 
prevent a JDialog from being closed?".  He also stated "I don't want 
anyone getting out of the program and into the Windows desktop".

The added statement was helpful in that it provided the context in which 
to interpret the question that he did ask.  And it seems clear that 
preventing the user from terminating the Java program is part of the 
solution to the overall problem.

Wilson did not ask to for help solving the Windows desktop problem, and 
had he done so it would have been very much off-topic in this newsgroup 
since that is a Windows question and this is a Swing newsgroup.  But the 
question he did ask regarding JDialog was very much on-topic in the Swing 
newsgroup.

Joi and I both directly addressed the on-topic question that he did ask.  
Neither of us tried to address the question that he did not ask and that 
would have been off-topic.  Do you think we should have done otherwise?
