Obviously, a n00b won't care much about this. A n00b will not notice anything is sent unless ZoneAlarm pops up saying Messenger Plus is trying to access the internet, if they read that pop up they'll allow MP! to access the internet, because they trust it. If not, well, they are in they right to block it, as well as if they blocked it from the pref panel.

Why is it no spyware?
ME, do we need to explain you what the word 'spy' means?

Don't compare noobs to 9-year old kids. The word statistics is a word that appears every day on the newspapers, if you read them I'm sure it would be a common word for you ;)

Obviously in statistics, like in polls, you can choose whether to answer or not, and here you can choose explicitly whether or not to choose.
Why didn't you claim MP! was spyware when the auto-updater appeared? It is sending following message from your system: "I have an old version of software XX". Isn't that also spyware in your point of view?
