I'm not sure it's a good idea to open the "addons as Pricelessware programs" door since there are so many different favorites, but the larger issue can be put aside for later, as the issue of programming languages has. In this case, I considered including Noscript as a recommendation in the description for Firefox. -- Ron M. Help improve the ACF experience. Please don't feed the trolls. New to the group?

From: Bjorn S. on 29 Sep 2009 06:37 I withdraw my nomination of VSO Image Resizer (nominated in mid: <7i2eg7F2t7j2jU1(a)mid.individual.net>). The program presents you with an initial nag screen that will have to be bypassed every time you run it. There is no way to disable this nag. You are asked if you want to continue, buy or unlock the full version with a key. The screen says this message will only disappear when you buy a commercial licence. I do not use this program very often, so the nag screen did not enter my mind when I was roaming through my programs to prepare my submissions.
