Re: Should websites refuse to send coins to an already used address?

I think most of us know that address reuse is a bad idea and it's better to use a unique one for every transactions to avoid security and privacy issues. If a website owner accepts bitcoin deposits and a user wants to withdraw coins to an address which was already used in the past, should there be a warning or even an error message or would that be too annoying for the user?

I'm curious about your opinions!

Websites don't need to babysit it's users and worry about their privacy and the security concerns of re-using an address which as of now afaik are none cmiiw and I don't think there is any need for websites to implement a warning or any such feature, maybe in future when we have quantum computers we need to worry about such things.
