We've taken the position that a notification is something that should be small. 
We have the checkbox you are referring to because some people about 6 years ago 
decided to argue on irc for 3 days straight about this, and finally I just had 
to make a decision on it.

Growl displays notifications, that's the bottom line. If it's more than 5 
lines, is it really a notification anymore? Our thoughts are that no, these are 
not notifications, but something more. I can understand where you are coming 
from, but at the end of the day we feel that a notification should be some 
small tidbit of information, and if you want to know more you can click to see 
it. :)
