If all of them felt the need to inform me every time I logged in that I'd installed them, that would be 146 lines of spam in my chat frame. Hopefully you see the problem.

If you feel the need for a "welcome" message at all, you should only print it the first time a user logs in with your addon (eg. its saved variables are nil). After that, presumably your users are able to remember that they're using your addon, and able to see its frames on their screen; you don't need to tell them over and over that they're using your addon.
Understandable, I'll remove the greeting message.
