In reply to Steven Gliebe.

I was speaking to responsibility rather than incentive.

Whether it's a commercial plug-in or theme, or a freebie, I ante up, because I'm a proponent of pay-to-play and I appreciate the effort regardless. The only difference to me is that when I get something for free, I give from the heart, while when I pay for something, I give from my wallet and I expect the developer to take some responsibility because the transaction mandates it.

I am amazed and angry when Envato will have a developer promote something for 6 months and then just abandon it, and then allow that same developer to promote another product. That makes people reticent to purchase from anyone without "numbers", and those numbers don't always tell you which is the better product, just which one has sold more. It works similarly in the repository, where great freebies get shunned for the ones with a big following.

I wish you the best - and perhaps in a few years I'll come around and take a look. Odds are you won't be there though. Either because you've moved on to another toy, or because there are just too many like me out there. Hope I'm wrong.
