We haven't decided if we want that or not.  I don't know if a /me thing is=

really necessary. =20

If we do put it in, it won't be right now since we want to get things settl=

I replied to that on the forums... Basically, the only one of us who uses t=
hat=20
timestamp is Michael and he likes it the way it is.  So if it's something=20
that comes down to a developer's opinion over a user's opinion, the develop=
er=20
wins.

That sounds like more trouble than it's worth.  Maybe for 1.3 if we have=20
nothing else to do.
