In reply to John Teague.

My email address is public. If anybody has a specific problem requiring admin intervention on WordPress.org, then I'm happy to hear you out and try to solve it for you.

However, I did not make the theme live because they asked me to, nor because of who they are. I was solving a technical problem for them, and the requirement that the theme be made live was dictated by the situation at hand.

Yes, I'm an administrator of the site. Sometimes I make administrative decisions. I'm sorry if those decisions upset some people, but they still need to be made to keep things running smoothly and sanely for all WordPress users everywhere.

GoDaddy did not ask to "bypass the queue", they asked to reuse a theme name. I examined the situtation agreed and helped them do that. That's all, really. Simple. They didn't pay for any form of special treatment, and characterizing it as such is ridiculous.
