Existing users, 
speaking technically, I suspect there are hardware and software issues that aren't being addressed. for instance, I'm pretty sure the human eye shouldn't be able to pick up 1ms flashes, but I do see them. that means either that the software isn't timing correctly, or the display isn't capable of refreshing that quickly. if you can't fix that outright, you might want to put in some documentation about hardware issues.
and yes, subliminal messages have been thoroughly debunked. but they're still fun. :-)

Better methods to do this - gary210
The method described here as the process this program uses -- quick flashes of a written message -- is an old one but perhaps not the best. Another method is to make the printing so transparent that it goes slightly over the line into apparent invisibility. In theory, the brain can still "see" it, even though it is unaware of doing so.Also, in theory, a subliminal message may actually be more persuasive than one perceived consciously, because most of our decisions and attitudes are already based on unconsciously-perceived data.
To my knowledge, nobody has ever disproved that subliminal messages can work. There is data in both directions. At best, the results of a study can only indicate how well that particular method works.
As an example of a study that showed that subliminals do work, see page 318 of "The Fall of the House of Bush" by Craig Unger or the article he refers to in the August 2007 issue of the New Republic. A 2004 Rutgers University study is discussed, wherein students changed their minds to favor Bush over Kerry after they were subjected to subliminal "mortality reminders" such as "911".

Twtwtw,Good point. The display is being driven for the time shown (minimum of 1 ms) but displays are not that fast yet so you get whatever your display rise and fall time provides. You can, however, make the text lighter to make it harder to read.
