[IxDA Discuss] "home" links

[Jeff Seager]

Another advantage of the "reset" function that I've used a lot
myself: You're exploring a site and, the more you see, the more you
think you might like to come back again. You don't necessarily want
to bookmark the page where you figured that out; you probably want
the introductory page.

It's a common occurrence for users, and that "home" function is
familiar enough to grab without manually editing the URI in the
browser's address bar. Breadcrumbs are good for that, too.

I don't think the numbers tell everything about the usefulness of
this or any other function (I've only needed a seatbelt once, but I
was glad to have it), so Bryan's data doesn't surprise me. Some
familiar controls may be worth keeping for the sake of user comfort
and convenience, more than pure function.
