I'm not sure how anything that's actually syncing, rather than 
installing/copying/whatever, could behave differently. If you use a 
conduit on the Palm that does syncing (i.e., _not_ "install", which is 
one-way) it absolutely will delete a record from your Palm if you 
delete it on the computer, and vice-versa.

The problem isn't that it's syncing... it's that it's *automatically* 
syncing when you plug it in. Which is why I turn off "automatically 
sync" in iTunes. And why I turned off "Automatically sync" in Microsoft 
Activesync, and why I'm glad that Hotsync doesn't automatically sync by 
default.

There's stuff above here
