-He described a visibility problem as a reason for the feature request.
-He also described a nick linking issue while attempting to handle a
-"mass memo" feature on his own. While technically not questions, I
-would think it was obvious that responses were desired in those
-contexts.

-Memos generally have a much higher visibility than logonnews. You're
-welcome to provide very thorough examples to the contrary, but you'll
-be working against the tide of experience from a lot of people on a lot
-of different networks, apparently including Saturn.
