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

Information about Patchou's alleged income that was posted to this

newsgroup
has already been removed from my web page


I see you're at it again Sandi. Update of 15th October.
==========
A person by the name of P, Cyril -
(***the email address has been changed to protect P. Cyril from spam and
flamemail***) is, at the date of writing this segment (15 October 2004), the
name behind www.msgplus.net
==========

Now while this is all well and good, during your synopsis you repost the
edited email address and then on the same line you inform people what to
replce your edited portion with in order to make it a valid address.

Slightly hypocrytical, wouldn't you say?
==========
Synopsis:
Secure Software, Inc = Cyril Paciullo/Paciullo Cyril, Alex Shamash and
Jason Lucas
www.msgplus net = P, Cyril - edited
address - replace popularemailprovider.com with ************** [removed
actual provider with FAR too many stars])
==========

Another thing, you keep going on about the useage statistics that MsgPlus
sends back to Patchou like it's a crime to see what features are being used
the most, so that he knows what to focus on for future releases.

I'm sure I've seen similar tick boxes on Messenger itself, as well as
Windows Media Player. It's ok for M$ to request stats on users habits, but
when Patchou request similar kinds of info (more than likely, it's less
intrusive than what WMP or MSN requests), it's not allowed? Also, the
option for user data for MSN and WMP is ON by default. I know this as I've
just done a system rebuild with XP and I had to turn these 'useage data'
tick boxes off myself after installing both Messenger (MSN and Windows
versions) and WMP10. Oops, another point of your argument against MsgPlus
out the window.

For crying out loud, grow up, download version 3.25 and see for yourself
what Patchou has done to try to keep the SIX MILLION people that use his
software add-on happy.

Regards,
Brian!
