Remove the phrase "I hope you enjoy it" from the Tell A Friend feature

Title:
Remove the phrase "I hope you enjoy it" from the Tell A Friend feature

Area:
Tell A Friend

Summary:
The phrase "I hope you enjoy it" is superfluous and should be removed from the Tell A Friend page.

Description:
Let us take a temporary stroll down It Could Happen Lane. I would like to tell my friend Y about an entry that I think would make her angry due to sheer stupidity contained therein. I make use of the thoughtfully-provided feature Tell A Friend (http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/tellafriend), and compose my own note to her, saying "This will make you angry but you need to read it." The automatically appended phrase "I hope you enjoy it" does not make any sense at all in this context.

Therefore, I would like to suggest that it be removed. This will make this feature more appropriate to a variety of purposes and also will cease to annoy me quite as much.

I can not see any immediate drawbacks, as a sending user can write their own note of "I hope you enjoy it" in the custom text area. Advantages are mentioned above.

Should perhaps be moved into the suggested text box?

And it is not an It Could Happen; I have used the feature more than once to send a quick message to a maintainer (LJ-side) about an entry that is breaking the community rules or is otherwise dodgy.

Yeah, move it or make it an option in some other way (default on or default off, I don't really care) instead of getting rid of it altogether?
