In reply to auditor.

The original HeroPress article came out almost three years ago, so it pre-dates all of this.

As for the WordPress.org article, I think it would have been a good opportunity to talk to the plugin author and get his thoughts, allow him the chance to share what he learned from the experience. I don't think there's anything wrong with featuring Collins, but good journalism would have meant touching on the ProfilePress issue, even if it was secondary to the story.
