Default Messenger Plus! - Let's focus on another Sacred Cow for a while

Well Patrick, I'd like to live in your world. Do you honestly think
that I would bundle adware if people were willing to donate for the
software? you see, when I see things like "I've seen articles that say
where his 'sponsor' is optional, it still installs" it pains me to
realise how much false information can be distributed on the net, and
you're contributing to it by posting it again on this news post.

If you actually read the last post I made in this thread, you would
probably not write such things. But hey, it's so easy to hit on
Patchou-the-bad-guy isn't it? you accuse forum members to be children,
yet, what I see here is childish complains disconnected from reality.
Anyone who actually bothers to read my replies can easily realise that
I'm just doing my best to satisfy my users, why can't you see that?

I'm not sure I would be so proud to have that kind of support Sandy,
it's just too easy to bad-mouth without trying to understand. Of
course, here we go again with the quote game, taking things out of
context, spreading rumors about stuff I would have said on one post
one day.. aren't you tired after all that time? don't you think enough
is enough? If you don't want to read my replies, fine, I won't bother
to reply again, but don't go and say that I don't care about my users
because I certainely care about them more than you care about giving
objective information to your readers.

Hmmm.. interesting.. If it weren't for the 'sponsor' he'd be living in the
street. I remember seeing a post about Messenger Plus on one of the
anti-spyware sites where Patchou's response was basically "Too bad."

Here's a thought that I've seen on a lot of other sites.. PAYPAL. Or
StormPay. Your 6 million + members could donate 1 dollar, and you'd never
have to work again.. But, that's not an option, right?

I liked Messenger Plus BEFORE it installed a bunch of spyware crap on my
computer (This was before Patchou stated it in his EULA). I haven't used it
since, and I don't recommend it to anyone. Simply because I've seen
articles that say where his 'sponsor' is optional, it still installs.

Plus, I agree with Sandi about the "Pass-through toolbar". If I want to
change my homepage, search page, and other pages back to what I wanted, then
C2Media, MPlus, or whoever is the 'sponsor' has NO right adding another
toolbar to my computer (for monitoring my habits).
Patrick.
