I knew it was a new owner when I updated the plugin. I didn't panic but in a matter of minutes I found 2 blog posts about the new ownership.

Number 1 in the message bar after the update it was Syd linking to his blog post about the new ownership and number 2. I visited the original author of the plugin which found the reason why.

How hard is it for people to do a tiny bit of thinking to get there own answers. Over-reacting by a lot of people for sure.

Anyways, the minute I knew who the new owner was I knew that this plugin has a bright future because of his reputation in the blogging world.

End of story. Now I'm going to open a can of beer up and light up a cig..
