If a Bitcoin veteran can make this kind of mistake, something needs to be done to make the addressing foolproof.
Making anything "foolproof" just breeds more efficient fools.
Maybe a higher expectation of people to exercise a little bit of personal responsibility would be more productive.
It seems to me Goat has demonstrated the proper attitude in taking responsibility and helping us all to learn a valuable lesson.
But hey, I'm just weird that way,

Well bitcoin is not foolproof enough for my parents and it will never be for my grandparents. and yeah, i fucked up and I was multi tasking and very distracted.
The community here has helped me track it down to odds are GLBSE 1.0 so maybe I have a shot of getting it back.
if so that would be awesome. I did open a ticket about it at the request of nefario and I know he is busy and fail like this is not, nor should be his priority.
I hope your successful in getting your coins back. Even the possibility says allot about the bitcoin community.
To make transactions more foolproof will ultimately take away the anonymity and privacy that is now inherent in Bitcoin.
In time there will be more mature services and new devices which will ameliorate error's like this, if one chooses to make use of them and therefore relinquish some privacy and anonymity.
