Re: Scratch buffer annoyance

[Richard Stallman]

    Wouldn't it be smarter to make the initial splash screen the current
    buffer when Emacs starts instead?  It would make sense for that to be
    read-only, and when one does C-x C-q, it could for example clear it
    and toggle the read-only status of the buffer (with a brief note in
    the initial splash screen that one can do C-x C-q to convert it into a
    "scratch" buffer).

It is an interesting idea.  What do others think?
