You can log in on any public page; first go to the page,

(additional emphasis mine)

I personally believe that you may have imagined that in quite a few years (albeit many less than you) at the Monastery I should have noticed: indeed, I did notice. No offense taken, BTW: I'm clearly stating so because I realize my tone may suggest the contrary... OTOH you say the right thing: "go to!" And if I have to go to some page, it's not that much of a difference whether I go there before or after the login respectively.

Of course, your remark could just be a suggestion to save a bookmark to the given page I like and to login from that one. This does make sense. But, believe me: there are situations in which I don't want to save a bookmark anyway. Or I may just be on a public machine. Or at a friend's house.

To put it straight and clear: this is not a feature without which I can't live. But it would be so supposedly easy to implement, and lightweight, that it wouldn't be too bad to have... I login, and I'm in my favourite page to start my visits @ PM, period.

Or, even for non-public pages, do it in one fell swoop, like 
http://domain/?node_id=nnnnnn;op=login;user=uu;passwd=pp;expires=%2B10

This, instead, I ignored altogether: thank you! (Although I doubt I'll be using it...)
