Right but why display supplementary (or as I would call it,  
secondary) information unless the user can do something with it like  
you can in the 'Accounts' area. Especially, as you said it, the  
primary way users identify shares is by the collection name.

Perhaps 'confusing' isn't the correct term, but more like why show  
additional information that doesn't really help the user? It just  
ends up 'cluttering' up what you want the user to do, which is to  
manage his/her collection share.

It's fine if you don't think it confuses the user. The supplementary  
information just doesn't seem like it's necessary to the user to  
identity the collection.

Do you really think people understand what 'tickets' are outside of  
this office or outside the development community?
