As is blocking the redirector's address at the firewall.
when was the last time you went to file->library->update library, ticked "remove files which no longer exist and pressed OK? you should try it. there are other times this happens too.
I used to have a nice, local, custom start page configured here and I miss that too.
All these things are a matter of personal choice, and given the choice, I'd choose my custom start page every time over having MC call home whenever "start" is selected in the tree.
If you're happy, then I am happy for you.
For me, the "phone home" start pages are only a minor annoyance. I can live with the hassle of controlling my internet gateway, it would just be nice to have a tick box in the options that made the job easier. The end result is, after all, exactly the same. (ie. when I land on start here, I don't see the start page)

So a hassid comes to his rabbi and says: "Rabbi, I have a wife and six small children, and we all live together in this one room - it's very small, and always noisy. It's awful. What can I do?"
The rabbi asked: "Do you have a goat?" "Yes", the hassid replied. "Very well", said the rabbi. "Now have the goat live with you in the room, and come back after a week".
The hassid did that, and after a week he comes to his rabbi crying. "It's impossibly crammed, it's smelly, and the noise! Oh! Please, Rabbi, help me!" "Very well", said the rabbi. "You can take the goat out now".
After a week the hasid comes back to the rabbi to thank him: "Now we have so much room, it's unbelievable!".
