gay :
1a: happily excited: MERRY
1b: keenly alive and exuberant: having or inducing high spirits <he turned from
a sober traditional style to one more timely and gay>
2a: BRIGHT, LIVELY <gay sunny meadows>
2b: brilliant in color

  How is this insulting?  Gay does not refer to a sexual preference if that
is what you intended.  Gay refers to overly "happy" and is directed toward
other (other un-named) shareware scrollers.  :)
