I understand the philosophy behind going away and staying away. I think I've found another way around the issue for me, but open -b still doesn't work even if you haven't manually turned Growl off. For example, if you just logged in, and Growl is not set to start automatically at login, so it isn't running. Even then, when you try open -b, and then "growlnotify -m "test"", Growl still doesn't work. (even though the status in the system preferences pane will say running.)
