The MSN Messenger "Usage data" option was *not* turned on by default
when I
installed messenger on my machine.


Then you have an install problem:

http://www.msgplus.net/changelog.php
"A new option has been added in the preferences panel to allow sending
periodic statistics to the msgplus.net server. These statistics are just
a couple of numerical data such as "Quick Text was used" or "Plus! icon
was clicked". Obviously, nothing personal (such as chat logs or contact
emails) is sent. The data collected will help me concentrate on the
features that are used the most in the future updates. The option is on
by default and can be turned off permanently in the "General
Options\Local Settings" section of the preferences. Last note about
this: no statistic is send during the first week of use, that way, you
have plenty of time to discover the option and turn it of if you desire. "

No he doesn't have an install problem, Sandi. "anonymous" is talking
about MSN Messenger, not Messenger Plus!...
