Chat in single-person fellowships?

Question Title: Chat in single-person fellowships?
Category: Communications
Question: QID 7720 implies that you plan on removing the ability to /f in a single-person fellowship. I think this would be a mistake. Ignoring the fact that some 3rd party software communicates to the player this way, I find it invaluable to be able to put something on my screen, and in my command buffer (like coordinates, or someone's name), without saying it to anyone else. IMHO, the 'talking to yourself' message should be bugged as being a bit insolent to a user who knows what he's doing.

Either that, or put in a @think command. :) I love being able to use : like I'm onna mush. :)
