I never liked software automatically "doing" things for me. I prefer perhaps a
prompt asking if it is ok to do so, and even an indication that the default
response (if you hit return) is Yes. That way, you have the opportunity to
veto if you have reason to do so.
 
Besides, without a pause, many informative messages likely just scroll past
never to be given a second thought.
