[wp-forums] Plugin author withholding working version in exchange for donations

[Mika A Epstein]

Oy.

I know her, too.

I closed her plugin for a different reason (email being sent in a tic) 
but ...

"I plan on making it available here in another week or two."

Basically she's working directly with someone who donated for -support- 
which is okay, but that's not spelled out in her readme (pet peeve of 
mine). I added that onto the plugin email. It's okay, but she's going 
about it in a questionable way.

Its like if you said "Development versions of this plugin are available 
if you donate/pay for personal support. I will fix your issues directly, 
if possible..."

That's okay. Just a bit odd.
