Hmmm, not sure if the meaning of "Gain Access" would be clear to the newbie. Also, I am not sure how this fits in with your core philosophy (which I strongly agree with) that the user should be able to hit OK and get a working node. As many will know, it is my opinion that it is important that we educate the user as to the risks of getting their seednodes from a well-known location (or at least give them the opportunity to educate themselves), but this does not mean that we should try to punish them by making them jump through unnescessary loops should they decide to take the easy option. Trying to punish people for making an informed decision to take a particular course of action is, in my opinion, something best left to the Christian Right.
