Yes, that would be a nice feature, it has been mentioned a few times. Have faith, it will get added in. There are new features almost every day...

I'm not sure what you mean by "one-time," as the chatterbox message remains until you clear it. Also, when people spot errors in your posts, they will often send a chatterbox /msg about it, so that you can fix it, so it might not be a good idea to have it off. Or, you could just grab the XML for your private messages...

I wear my Geek Code on my finger.

The chatterbox (and all those other boxes) take up too much real estate. And they often need to be scrolled to anyways, so I've turned most boxes off.

As for sending private messages, that's why Ray Tomlinson gave us email. ;-). Repeatedly hitting reload to see if someone wants to point out an error seems a step back to me....
