How do you prevent an exception? By checking if the object is null

not calling the method? Inform the user for an abnormal situtation and
then close? Isn't this the same thing as if a NPE was thrown? Why even
bother? Because in any case, your code has a bug. Either way, the
program must end because the method wasn't executaded as it had to.

"We're sorry, but remote document storage seems to be unavailable. Would you like to store your document locally until the remote document storage is back? (Y/n) _"
