this is a patch for @@@ == [[user_talk:username|username]] @@@@ == [[user_talk:username|username DATE]]

just like ~~~ and ~~~~

usertalk is a better thing to leave as the system notifies people when their talk page is changed. thus communications are more smooth.

to deny this patch by saying that this is merely a hack and that a overhaul to the talk pages is needed, well....then i *demand* that you deny it with code for your suggestion in hand.
