Growl displays offline statuses on loggin

There is an issue where after successfully logging on, my 100+ contacts' statuses get flashed in on my face. This is quite annoying given the number of contacts I have, and mine are lesser than other's.

I gather this initial notification should be circumvented or adjustable, and certainly not default.
