I never read anything about all the requests in LS in the reviews. They were mostly positive. Thanks for the heads up.
I'm happy with Little Snitch...glad that I bought it, but I've now got 229 allow/don't allow rules, and I still get countless requests that I allow/don't allow on a one-time basis; there may be an easier way to run it, but someone will have to point me to it.
More: LS has a "Silent" mode in which ALL connections are automatically allowed, but while it makes your life considerably easier it's purpose defeating.
