In reply to Colin.

No, there wasn't a dime exchanged for the article. I thought it was interesting to read the experience of a brand new theme seller and how they made their first sale minutes after being approved. I also found it interesting to read that the ThemeForest review process rejected their theme based on using insecure coding practices which gives me hope that their review process is working. It's just one case however so who knows what the other themes have in them.
