In reply to Rushtin.

Scott, I've now seen your latest blog post at https://www.redsandmarketing.com/blog/real-reason-wp-spamshield-kicked-off-wordpress-org/ so no need to reply to my question (can you clarify?) above-- your post makes your position clear.

I am sorry that you feel the way you do... but of course it is your right and certainly you are under no obligation to continue to offer or support free plugins on Wordpress. So thank you for the work you have done in the past and good luck with whatever you choose to do in the future.
