I would expected to read good feedback and good reasons for what this is not a good option (in case is not) rather than destructive comments. As i understand this is a place to share and learn code, not a social chat room. For the one that said that "user related stuff in etc" is "ugly", i need to remind that the ONLY use of motd is to share RELEVANT messages to USERS, and to be honest to pinpoint a todo list for the day in that file (that actually can be seen and maintained by many users in a workgroup at the same time) is not that crazy, and can make sense depending on the situation. Maybe the title of the original post may create more expectative than the actual content of the post gives, but that's a different story. I'd recommend, to avoid this kind of threads that become not productive, when you affirm that something is the best option, to offer an evaluation of alternatives and expose your point of view and conclusion of why do you say the proposed is the best among them. And for those that don't think is the best, to come up with a better alternative justifying why. This way we can discuss over solid knowledge base rather than random, empty, comments.
