Also in another post, Joost referred to messages in org-mode. Maybe there could be a verbosity variable that "expert" users could customise if they are annoyed/don't want to look at the messages. Org-mode defaults, as it is right now, facilitates becoming more familiar with the advanced features of org-mode over time. I think we should keep it that way. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
