It reminds me of some shareware that pop-ups a reminder about paying for
it every time I open it.

The goal they want to archive is "display a splash screen at startup",
Why it must be at startup but not in C-h C-p page? It should be in
*somewhere*, not necessary *here* in the startup.

I can't stop thinking of this metaphor when reading that thread :D

Actually, RMS withdraws the statement that I am a newbie - emacs will
keep taking FILE as an argument like it used to be. And splash screen
won't show up if run with emacs -nw. Distribution packagers will remove
it, under X or console. Anyway.
