Mike, Again, apparently you don't read very well. As I said in my previous posts had he placed the price at $1.99 or $4.99 up front I would probably have bought it. If he puts a free limited version and a paid full version in the store I would buy the paid version. Your assumption that I am bitching about it costing money is totally and utterly off base. Before you go throwing the blind card I suggest that you digest what the person is attempting to impart. I have and will continue to support apps that are created for our community. Your assertion that I am one of "those" blinds who believe that everything for blind consumption should be handed to us without cost is incorrect and quite frankly offensive. My intent in voicing my opinion this morning was to indicate to Ben that I think he made a mistake in the way he implemented his pricing model and maybe that he should possibly rethink it, not to get into a pissing match with you or anyone else.
