Adam,
have you listened (read) to what you are saying?

Really? Is that a difficult question? You are using it, you like it, and it has
value for you, right? If you don't think it's worth the new price, then don't
use it. The fact that Growl technically is still free (you can download the
source and compile it yourself) is immaterial here. You complain with
self-righteous indignation that something valuable you used for free isn't free
any more - instead of saying 'hey guys, thanks for letting me freely use your
tool in the past'. What's next? Sue the dev team to pay for support?
Just goes to show that no good deed ever goes unpunished. They gave you a great
service in the past for *free*. Is complaining your way of showing
appreciation? Please explain this, because I don't understand this at all.

(Note: I am NOT a member of the Growl dev team, just a happy Growl user and
independent developer)
