My guess would be it syncs the message on multiple screens, because there is
no
parameter that specifies which screen message should be displayed on.

IMHO it's a good practice to give functions new names if they are totally
rewritten
because:

 - you don't break old code
 - you can migrate portions of code from old one to the new one and not
everything
   in one go
