That forum post isn't much of an answer. Since leaving the update check enabled is now bad juju on Tiger, we'll never know if you issue a security or any other for it. ....Aside: That burning sensation is the collective feeling you're getting from all the people that use Growl on Tiger on dial-up or other services where they pay dearly for their bandwidth.

They have expensive table plotters, printers, and other i/o devices, that just don't work in Leopard or Snow Leopard. Things get even more complicated when you try to share files: Apple dumped all but AFP v3 from Snow Leopard, and broke Samba -- which makes newer Macs that (will) require SL problematic. Of course, then there's all the folx out there that ain't rich enough to buy new Macs or all the app updates...
