I agree. These users are getting frustrated as it is. This is certainly a way 
to gain more users, but it's not the right way. 


You bring up a good point. Maybe there is a way to educate these people that 
Growl isn't spyware out to get them?  The about page is not adequate for this. 

Also, I think we could keep a list of the threads we've had on this linked on 
that page. Would that help people? Just an idea to keep people from having to 
search.
