[Design][cosmo][d/f][Bug 8325][Bug 8595] Need feedback to the user (dialog box) when user has added a collection (or the same collection)

[Mimi Yin]

Hi Bobby,

Just to be clear, is your proposal to let users subscribe to the same  
collection twice and as a result, have that collection appear twice  
in the collection pulldown?

Do you have a specific use case in mind for this? I think unless  
there's a compelling use case, giving people the option to do this  
makes the dialog more confusing? I believe Priss' proposed dialog was  
just an informational dialog, not really one that asks you to make a  
decision.
