 * Hi,
 * we tried your plugin but unfortunately the editors of our magazine didn’t rate
   it too positive. This does not say it is bad but it takes away their liberty 
   and power to decide on the pictures for their post. So we had to remove it.
 * I checked the option remove plugin’s data, BUT
 * Althought the plugin has deactivated and remove, new posts still show the category
   picture automatically. Any idea why?

 * **Part one**: if option _**Do not overwrite if post / page has thumbnail assigned
   already**_ is checked and the editor sets featured image manually then the category
   thumbnail **WILL NOT** replace his choice. Therefore editor’s freedom to choose
   his own featured image is preserved.
 * **Part 2**: this plugin **DOES NOT** display thumbnails. It ( when active ) sets
   the featured image for post / page on Publish / Update. When it is not active
   the featured image which was set already will be displayed but new post will 
   not get featured image automatically. The option _**Remove plugin’s data from
   database on uninstall**_ removes plugin’s data from database not featured images
   from posts.
