Hey Christopher,

I've contacted Stephan, the owner of the other plugin, to see what we can 
do about it.

Of course I was implying that it would take less time for us, considering 
we're the ones doing the work, right? We are using the plugin in our 
company, so from our point of view everything is good and done. We're just 
trying to give something back to the community, but we do have limited time 
to invest in this pursuit. We're also taking some responsibility on our 
shoulders by trying to maintain the plugin, so the least we've expected was 
better cooperation. Also, I do not see what would be terrible for everybody 
else. They would just use a new plugin which would replace the existing 
one. There would be only one new checkbox to fill and no other persistency 
problems. 

Granted, proliferation is to be avoided. But I do believe that individual 
cases may appear when the given rules only do harm, and this is one of them.

I'll come back with a reply from Stephan and we'll see what future course 
of action we can take.

Regards,
Catalin
