#37What's more interesting to me is that some people are okay with a lookup on click but not a lookup on hover. It seems a difference in affirmative intent exists between hover and click; and more generally perhaps categories of user actions should be formalized into degrees of affirmation that could mitigate errors like this.

Just ditch it - clearly the author has no regard for privacy. I cringe just thinking about implementing something like that.
iTerm2 is great and George is absolutely responsive with any issue I've ever brought up. I am personally going to give him the benefit of the doubt here, I'm sure he'll fix things ASAP.
