Well the truth is it's not brilliant and 99% of Sysops in todays scene won't 
even need it. However, those who have bothered to customize their boards and 
have ansi artwork (which unfortunate as it is, is the extreme minotiry) can 
allow their users to be able to actually see it without the need for 
scrolling back.

This is why I expect this to be extremely low-priority in Rob's mind and 
extremely near the end of any to-do list.

However, seeing as you did read and understand my post, you see the obvious 
point that it is needed, but unfortunately because it only serves a MINORITY 
is incredibly LOW PRIORITY that you will have no need to rebuttle with a "Tw, 
yet again, you are an idiot" type of responce :-)
