the point seems to be to avoid the extra round-trip which blazar must lack the patience for since there are so many ways to get to your favorite node with a single click after login

(Additional emphasis added by me)

I personally believe that I'm doing my best to become a better person under that respect, since it is a virtue I've often complained not to possess to a high enough degree.

it isn't even hard to use Free-Nodelet JavaScript to eliminate the need to click

D'Oh! I constantly keep forgetting about the Free Nodelet. Of course, my complete ignorance of JS does play a role in this: indeed one single thing that really makes me want to possibly learn it is to hack PM!

Anyway, this is a simple enoug task that I'm sure I can ask some knowledgeable friend, ad he would come up with a ready made solution. Thanks!

Incidentally, I apologize for having made gratuitous assumptions on how easy it would be to add the feature I'm after, without actually knowing the codebase: of course it would require, if nothing else, the creation of a new column in the database holding each monk's favourite starting node...
