[ Bug #570 ] Need to get back to Thread View from KB Write New Note 
form page

The point here is that we need a link in the note creation form so the 
user can check some stuff from the KB, which I understand.

However, I don't think most users will be able to open the link in a 
new browser window. And if this doesn't happen, we have the problem 
that the note the user was writing is left in the database as a 
temporary object. These temporary notes will accumulate. Currently it's 
a bit more difficult to "forget" a temporary note.

So if we do allow a link out, we should either make is specifically 
open a new window (put a TARGET="_new" as an attribute to the A tag, no 
****script needed) or then we'll need to implement a garbage collector 
that periodically cleans up the temporary notes. Option #1 is a lot 
easier to implement.
