In response to Wild Peach:

The difference is little to none. I do not complain that the popup exists. I am only voicing my natural reaction to it and questioning whether it may hold deeper implications. Such actions as this and the 'marketing gimmicks' I spoke of earlier are almost uniquely characteristic of the 'foul' shareware that many of us know and dispise. I wish only to be reassured that any sour implications are unfortunate misperceptions. The popup requires no explanation, of course. The marketing gimmicks, however, necessitate one. One simply cannot make such claims without explaining the technical details of how they are achieved and expect folks like myself to bite.

PS: Please forgive any typos I may have made. I do not have the luxury of editing my posts as you do. While that doesn't so much bother me, it can make a complete *** of me given the right set of circumstances.
