You didn't see the giant red link on our main page about not knowing how Growl 
got installed? That should have answered all of your "how the hell do I get 
this off my machine" questions.

Understood. This sucks for you and us.

How else is Growl supposed to notify users that there is an update? Serious 
question, I'd like to improve things.

What did you do that you thought you had uninstalled it?

Probably due to the dropbox reinstalling it problem.

Growl isn't advertisement.

I highly doubt you downloaded Growl from us directly in the first place.

I appreciate not having to skim every single email and then approve it. You 
don't understand, at one point I was manually deleting 2000 emails a week for 
spam going to the old list. I'm sorry you feel this way, but we're not removing 
this requirement. Especially since the solution to your problem is blatant on 
our main page.

You came off as being a twat. I've had a bad day, having sat at DPS for four 
hours to remove one thing from my license. My apologies for coming across as an 
ass.

Understood. I want to make things better for people in your situation. Follow 
what Evan just sent and let's see what we can do to improve things.
