before saying to someone that he says nonsense!!!!

I'll give you this example, without comments. Make your conclusions!

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Think before</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <form action="#" method="get">
      <button name="submit" value="action1" type="submit">esegui
operazione</button>
      <button name="submit" value="action2" type="submit">cancella
tutti i dati</button>
    </form>
  </body>
</html>
