I find the controls in the Growl prefpane to be very good at letting me
set exactly waht I see and when I see it.

Except...

For some reason MacIrssi makes all notifications 'stick' regardless of
any setting. I have no idea why this is, and it's only this app that
does it (or at least only this one that I've set to NOT be sticky that
still is sticky).

Other than that, I find Growl is a pretty brilliant system and I think
Apple should build it into the OS.

certain they were alone. Matters in hand! He'd tried to wash the blood
off his hands. If he could wash the blood off, he told himself, it
wouldn't have happened. He'd scrubbed and scrubbed. Scrubbed till he
