you say:

it would be enough to simply select the monk name's last private message (by clicking an appropriate checkbox), type a response inside the 'talk' input box and hit the 'talk' button to send this response message to the desired monk name monk.

usually, the checkbox is used to delete a message... so if your way was implemented, how would you delete the message? "without typing anything" you might say? (selecting the checkbox and clicking Talk)

I prefer the way it is used right now.. it's more straightforward. and as grep has noted.. you can always use the Message Inbox to do that.
