He'll only take offence if you use harsh words and aren't very nice about him, i'm sure. "Him" being Patchou by the way.

How would this help at all, surely it would just make the production of Messenger Plus! slower, as without this, Patchou would need to get a full time job.

The sponsor is optional and is only adware, it does not f*** up your computer at all, it adds a few desktop icons (5-6), a toolbar in Internet Explorer and generates a few popups every 5 minutes. The only way it messes up and is hard to get rid of is if you use any adware/spyware removal programs, other than that, it is amazingly easy to remove, so there is nothing bad about it.

This is only because there is a lot of false talk about Messenger Plus! surrounding the sponsor software. If they knew the truth, I assure you that they would download Messenger Plus! and use it sponsor free.

You don't have to be really careful at all, at first, there is a screen explaining what the sponsor is first, which you have to watch for 10 seconds, because you can't press "next" until you have, then on the next screen you see this:

That seems pretty straightforward to me!

They don't have any point, it isn't as dangerous as they portray it to be, trust me, I've installed it over 20 times probably, just for purposes like this one.

Patchou needs the money, otherwise nobody would be here.
