So basically, your goal is to royally piss off your incredibly short-term
users? What *SANE* reason do you think you have for doing this? Please
let us know what the name of the app will be so we can all avoid it like
the plague (even if you can't get this to work, it's likely the rest
of the app will suck, anyways. The second I saw something like that, I'd
uninstall it....
