No SPOD here either, running 2.2.6. A brief look at Omni site
indicates they have fixed the likely cause. From their FAQ:
------
Every time I open a document in OmniOutliner, my computer connects
to the internet. Why is this? Is my privacy being compromised?
When we create a column we create a unique object identifier. We get
the ip address to help create it, but the method we used also gets
the hostname (which we don't really need), and which we soon
discovered has the side effect of firing up an internet connection.
No information ever actually leaves your computer, though. Sorry
about the confusion.

Hmm. I'm running 1.2, what came bundled with OS X.
I tried a demo of something like 2.1.1, but since it was a demo I
couldn't get much testing out of it and don't remember much.

[...] the Beachball. Yeah, the programs do tend towards that a bit
more than the usual Mac OS X application but they have come pretty
far and don't do it as much any more.
Well that's good to hear.
But I also *hate* Omni's Web site. It's framed to kingdom come. (Now
whenever I see an Omni URL ending in a slash, I quickly append
"content.html" to skip past all the crap. [I think that was it;
haven't been there in ages.]). And a framed Web site is another thing
which makes me dismiss a company's products.
For outlining I've recently become partial to Vincent Jalby's
