[tomboy-list] Does anyone use the the middle-click-Tomboy-applet-pastes-to-Start-Here-note feature?

I still think this is an awesome feature, especially given the nicely
formatted datestamp.  I added it at the request of miguel, who was
looking to replace his append-to-file shell-script, and wouldn't
switch to tomboy without it.

Could this be made into a plugin instead of just removing it?  That
might give it a little more visibility for hackers, the most likely to
want the feature.
