 * Come on dude…
 * I appreciate your work, but this is unacceptable:
    In admin-style.css —
 *     ```
       #TB_ajaxContent {
           height: 100% !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * This affects more than just your plugin! If you want to use !important in styles,
   or just styles in general targeting your own elements, then more power to you,
   but you cannot use !important on a generic element!!!
 * Please correct this. Your plugin is quite good, but lets call a spade a spade.
   This is really shoddy styling, and when you did it you knew that it was. As I
   stated, I appreciate your work (it’s really good!) but please don’t cut corners,
   because in many cases when you do, you detrimentally effect the work of others
   as well.

 * Hi! Thank you for the time you spent with reviewing my code, this creates for
   me the opportunity to improve the code I offer to the community. I made the change
   you suggested and replace the thickbox style with something targeted.

 * Thank you, sorry for the somewhat harsh post. I was extremely annoyed when I 
   saw that.
