It's one thing to announce a new plugin, or an updated version or even 
ask for beta-testers. But it's quite another to use the forums as a 
pseudo Twitter to just post reminders about a plugin that was actually 
released a while back. Plus it has to be viewed in the context of the 
other stuff he's been posting.
