Quick add improvements

I started trying to use Remember the Milk today. I really like the Quick Add feature, but I think it could be quicker for adding multiple tasks. Changes I'd suggest:
- After adding a task, it forwards to a page prompting you to click to add another task or close the window. Why not forward back to the add task display and simply say the task was added and offer an option to close the window somewhere on it? That way those of us wanting to enter multiple events can just keep going and those who don't can stop.
- It would be really nice if the quick add form would remember what list you just added a task to and select that one when you return to add another. That way when I'm entering tasks I can add a whole bunch to a list in a row without being interupted by selecting the same list over and over.
Anyway, great product, very slick. The clincher for me to switch to this service is the awesome keyboard shortcuts and the quick add. Very nice.

Thanks for your feedback! We've been meaning to make some improvements to Quick Add (including making it easier to add one task after another) -- we'll make sure this is on our to-do list :)

Here's a way to add multiple tasks at once : it could be done in a textarea (like the one i'm typing this reply into). You would enter one task per line and then RTM would make one task out of each line.
