Currently, if I need to reply to a particular monk's comment, I have to always type his monk name myself, like this: 
say [monk name] [my reply message]

I think it would be somewhat easier on the chatterbox user if whenever he/she felt the need to respond to a private message sent to him by a monk monk name (substitute monk name with any monk name :), 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.

If implemented, this would spare many monks (including myself) from unnecessary frastration related to typing a monk's name (especially of the name is tooo long, such as crazyinsomniac hehe) wrong and receiving a chatterbox error message saying that the user couldn't be found. Also, checking 1 checkbox is much quicker than having to type a monk's name every time I wish to talk to him/her.
