Right, and I appreciate learning some simple ways to make *scratch* more useful, as well as finding the stray code in .emacs that was suppressing the startup screen.

The original post was from someone who doesn't like *scratch* to be the first thing he sees.  It seems clear that something in his customization is suppressing the normal startup screen (including possibly something at the site done by someone who likes seeing *scratch*...).
