I just downloaded MaxBlogPress Unblockable Popup 1.7.4 and it requires for me to give him a email address for me to use the plugin? I'm not giving anyone an email address just to use a plugin from the Plugin Directory...that's crazy. I can understand an optional signup form but to demand my email address to let me use it is a waste of my time installing it.
Imagine if all the plugins required us to send an anonymous person our email address before we could activate them. What would be the point of the "Activate Plugin" link? I activated it, but now the developer wants me to activate AGAIN by validating my email? My email has nothing to do with this plugin!
REMOVE THIS PLUGIN FROM THE DIRECTORY!

Hello there,
MaxBlogPress requires to give your email address for obvious reason. We need to make announcement of plugins update and other development. Because bloggers sometimes need to update plugins as well when wordpress updates.
But you can unsubscribe from the subscriber list anytime from a link in email if you don't like to receive emails from us.
And also you don't have to enter your email address for all of the Maxblogpress's plugins. If you have registered for one of our plugin then you can use all other plugins.
You can read about it in details from following link:

If you're interested ... I found a solution to putting different number of posts on certain pages.
Try using a query before your loop
<?php query_posts($query_string.'&posts_per_page=-1'); ?>
You can replace "-1" with the number of posts you would like to display. (-1 = all posts)
Hello there,
MaxBlogPress requires your email address for an obvious reason. That is, we may need to inform our plugin users about the plugin updates which we frequently perform as Wordpress updates.
You can always unsubscribe from our email by clicking a link within our emails.
And in other note, plugin users need to register only once to use all of MaxBlogPress plugins.
You can read more about this in following blog post:

Clearly I'm missing something. Wouldn't that be covered by having your plugin listed in the repository and keeping the SVN there up to date? Any time a plugin is updated, I get a notice in my admin side and I can update it from there. No email needed! Woo.
It would probably be better if you put a registration as something optional. "Register with us to be notified of plugin changes and other information..."

how do i control both of the following elements?
i want to control how many posts appear on a certain page [you've provided the solution above]
additionally, i want a certain post to appear on 3 different pages. would i also use a query to before the loop to make that happen?

This guy is a spammer, pure and simple. I had the misfortune of giving up my email to him and got spammed to death.
