Bug buddy already has too many clicks to send in the report (at least as 
of the last version I used) - the Windows "report crash to Microsoft" 
dialog has a *lot* less, just as one example.

Why not just be careful that the scripts don't collect potentially 
personal info, and ensure users can review the info before sending. 
Maybe there's a checkbox to turn off ever sending the extra info, but I 
wouldn't make it a required clickthrough, just a checkbox you can check 
if you're looking for it.

Remember people are already annoyed when bug buddy comes up, so you 
can't ask them to read and click through too much stuff.
