Re: Scratch buffer annoyance

    And there is also a link to http://www.gnu.org/ on this image.  I propose
    to change this link to http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/.

I don't think that represents a clear link.
I think most people won't think of clicking on it.

      In this case,
    we could remove the link to http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/tour/ from
    the startup screen, because the first link on the Emacs home page is the
    link to Emacs Guided Tour,

If we need to get rid of something, maybe that has to be it.
But perhaps it is better to go back to the two alternating screens.
