Maybe you can create some kind of plugin or addon that can
manage this
kind of user specific modifications.. something like firefox
extensions
or something... this could be usefull tu provide other kind
of tools
that users think that can help or be nice to other users..
maybe some
kind of scripting extensión could be nice..
Sorry if I don't know very much about MD programing
structure.. but is
an idea for all of you...
Regards,
Carlos

I have no specific opinion, but I wonder if those easter egg
messages
are to be translated to other languages (of course we don't
have
to make direct translation and lose any sense).
