Spyder 1.4.37 (Mac OS X)

Reputation?  

I downloaded and ran in demo mode and decided to do a test by sending out a simple greeting to my friends in a certain city. I was horrified to find that my message was surrounded by spam for Spyder and spent the next hour going through myspace's incredibly slow process of removing my comments to the 40 people it posted to. Unfortunately, I couldn't recind the dozen or so people who must approve comments still got the message.. I was pissed... and so were some of the recipients. I understand this being part of the demo.. but only after it made me a spammer. Outrageous. Maybe its written in the intro somewhere, but I didn't see it.. I suggest you warn people each time before they click send that if you use the demo version this is going to happen. Give people notice or disable multiple comments in the demo mode, instead of prostituting the software and those who are trying out the demo. I have to tell you, I would have been sold on the multiple comment feature alone, but you put my reputation on the line, not to mention possible expulsion from myspace. This disregard for people in the use of your demo was ample reason NOT to buy the product. Are there any other ways you use the product to promote itself? Not cool. [alert admin]
