as explained earlier: click-wraps are no-no's.

(And it is a difference if it is a "Tip of the Day" dialog on a supposed-to-be-used-with the GUI

If you mean those. At least the former provides some advantage to the user, the
latter not, just as an starter.)

Hows about only print a decently worded message asking nicely to cite, without the
nagging to stdout if the user passes --help?
