[wp-forums] Support for Premium Themes?

I try to strike a balance. I am an ardent opponent of forum volunteers
becoming de facto unpaid employees-by-proxy by providing free support for
Themes for which the developer provides commercial support. That said, I
try not to throw out the baby with the bath water. Sometimes, a
non-Theme-specific WordPress-related question is asked in the *context* of
a commercial Theme. In such cases, I try to glean the non-Theme-specific
part, answer that question, and then direct the OP to the commercial
support for anything Theme-specific.
