Re: what is the purpose of "This link has already been stored"?

[Samuel Wales]

i am not sure i am using store/insert to their full actual or
potential potential.

if you move the recent one to top of list, that would work for my
mindless store/insert, but it might not work for a user who has
carefully cultivated a set of links that are all to be inserted, or
such.  although idk if the mechanism supports.
