 * This used to be a great, lightweight, useful plugin. Then, it was bought out 
   by some software company that started filling it with bloat and adware. You’re
   much better off finding some other solution, or forking the plugin as it was 
   before QuadLayers got involved.

 * Hello [@ate-up-with-motor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ate-up-with-motor/)
 * The original authors of this plugin have decided to cease its maintenance, and
   we have taken on the responsibility. This entails costs that we must find a way
   to handle. Behind the support and updates, salaries need to be paid.
 * Giving a negative rating to a free product you are using is like shooting yourself
   in the foot because you’re literally making a negative contribution to it.
 * Best regards

 * I’m no longer using any of your firm’s plugins, and your unprofessional responses
   make clear that was the right decision.
