I found this following strange thing. It could be classified as a bug. It
is 100% reproducible on my Mma student v.2.1 for Mac.
When I excute the following Messages[Plus] or Messages[Power], mma returs
an empty list {}. Then I excute ?Plus, mma returns the appropriate usage
message for plus. Now I execute Messages[Plus] again, the appropriate
usage message appears.
What is wrong? Is this a bug?

O Menaechmus, but you can always travel by plane. Ever heard of Mathematica?
