Pretty cute, actually, but I think the original poster was worried
about preserving card id numbers, which this script doesn't do.  Also,
it could make a user pretty frustrated if he *wanted* to delete the
card, but couldn't.  So, if card ids are important or deleting the
card makes sense, I would use the "Answer" approach posted earlier.
