that's not a reason to recommend not to install it.

I don't understand very well that. cn someone explain that a bit more, please?

I think Patchou meant that it almost like a default choice; If you put only 1 thing in uppercase, it's like the default choice. (= also one of the reason why I putted also "refuse" in uppercase; To keep the choice completely with the user, not forcing anything in any slithest way...)

O.P. RE: Sponsor software idea
I can understand not wanting to lose ad volume, I guess that it could be kinda scary to go from something that's generally working to something that might turn out to be bad...I'll have to think on this one some more...

Na, what I meant for ACCEPT in caps is that I want to force peopel to read what they accept. If both ACCEPT and REFUSE were caps, they would jsut think its cosmetic and wouldn't care.

As for "don't install (recommended)"... lol. You know, if I didn't want anyone to install the adware, I wouldn't give a choice :). I have no problem talking about it, but don't bother suggesting changes, I've worked on that part a lot already, and it's great as it is.

RE: Sponsor software idea
after god only knows how many thread have been created to complain about the sponsor software, in the end, if you dont read the warning about the sponsor adware, and you install it with plus, its your fault, no one elses, its not patchous cause he didn't put it in size 80 font for everyone to see. 

patchou, after all the hard work you do, there are some people that still will find somethin to b!tch about.

RE: Sponsor software idea
i think that u should keep the wording, but have non of the radio buttons selected at the start, so people who speed click will get a message saying "please state if you want to install messenger plus! with or without the sponsor software"
