It's not needed to be able to talk to others. I like to keep messages on on one xterm, and messages off on everything else, including a talk session - that way it doesn't interrupt the wrong window. I know I could just go change this myself (the change is really trivial), but I thought I might ask if anyone knows another reason it's desirable (?) to keep this behavior... -matt -- Matthew C.
