   The plugin is in theory really cool. But it really enraged me when it replaced my 404.php file for my theme without my consent.

   That is incorrect. It is impossible for this plugin to replace your 404.php, here is the code to prove it.

   function aa_google_404_activate(){
   	global $aa_G404;
   
   	if ( !file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH.'/404.php')){
   		if (!copy(dirname(__FILE__).'/404.php', TEMPLATEPATH.'/404.php'))$aa_status.='<div id="message" class="error fade"><p><strong>ERROR:</strong>Attempt to create 404.php FAILED!</p></div>';
   		else $aa_status.='<div id="message" class="updated fade"><p><strong>Message:</strong>Attempt to create 404.php SUCCESS!</p></div>';
   	}else {
   		$the_404_data = implode( '', file( TEMPLATEPATH.'/404.php' ));
   		if (false!==($aa_temp=strpos($the_404_data,'AskApache'))){
   			unlink(TEMPLATEPATH.'/404.php');
   			if (!copy(dirname(__FILE__).'/404.php', TEMPLATEPATH.'/404.php'))$aa_status.='<div id="message" class="error fade"><p><strong>ERROR:</strong>Attempt to create 404.php FAILED!</p></div>';
   			else $aa_status.='<div id="message" class="updated fade"><p><strong>Message:</strong>Attempt to create 404.php SUCCESS!</p></div>';
   		}
   	}

   What most likely happened is that your blog was using your basic index.php for your theme because you didn't have a 404.php file in your templates folder.

   Sorry for the confusion, the next version will make this optional.
