[wp-hackers] Where Do I Configure This Plugin

[Jeff Chandler]

But if you do that, isn't that making the problem worst by introducing 
even more configuration links? The end user part of me thinks Andrews 
idea is so much simpler than browsing and trying to locate a top menu 
link to configure a plugin. Well, the simple fact of the matter is, the 
functionality exists but I don't see anyone using it.
