 * No word from this plugin developer after 6 days.
 * I got a patch for WooCommerce today that fixes the conflict with Shortcodes UI
   plugin.

 * You are kind of rude, do you know that?
 * It’s a free plugin that i developed and maintain in my free time (not when you
   call on me), eventually i would have read this and replayed but to demand answer
   and you timing like I work for you is simply rude.
 * I have over (at the time of writing this) over 33,321 downloads and installs 
   of my 12 free publicly released GPL plugins which i developed, gave and am maintaining
   with pleasure for this community that i love (you are more then welcome to go
   over the plugins forum tags and see my answer to each and every question or issue)
   but people like you really take the fun out of it.
 * And the worst part is you are complaining about the plugin not working, and me
   not answering but the issue was actually with the woocommerce plugin which calls`
   is_main_query()` and not this one.
 * simply rude!
 * as for any one else who has the same issue, simply update your version of woocommerce
   they fixed the issue, if any one is interested with more information how [read this](https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/commit/fa6a66a94c07b0d2d806b6ecf1f1902f098e8e4f)

 * Hey Ohad. I could just let this go since I don’t really think you took things
   the right way, but I thought I would respond with some explanation since it’s
   no good having bad feelings out there.
 * Firstly I’m truly sorry if you thought I came off as being rude. I certainly 
   didn’t mean to be that way (nor did I think I was rude). I always strive for 
   professionalism in conduct. And I do appreciate the work you have put into this
   plugin.
 * At the time I posted to the forum about the issue I was experiencing I had just
   moved away from another snippet plugin that no longer worked and was no longer
   being supported, and had spent many hour porting over all my many code snippets
   on a few sites to your plugin.
 * I’m running a few businesses on WordPress, and many customer sites. And I use
   code snippets with shortcodes throughout most of the sites.
 * When I found that the code snippets were not working with another very important
   plugin (WooCommerce) that I had just recently resolved to use for ecommerce (
   because another ecommerce plugin I tried was not working and had caused it’s 
   own frustrations), things seemed to come to a critical juncture.
 * I was NOT “complaining about the plugin not working”. Just creating awareness
   of the plugin conflict in hopes of trying to get resolution.
 * I felt I needed to at least get some type of reponse from the developer within
   a few days like…”interesting, I’ll look into it” or something…anything just to
   know there’s some movement and that the plugin is being supported and/or actively
   developed so I would know if I should wait or take other actions.
 * Otherwise if I didn’t hear something (anything) back soon with some indication
   that there may be some type of resolution in sight (or not), I knew I’d have 
   a lot of extra work to get things working using another snippets plugin. I’d 
   have to spend many more critical hours porting over all of my code and my customer’s
   code to another snippet solution (which I’d rather not do since I had already
   tried a few others and knew this would be time consuming).
 * As a side note, I think a lot of WordPress users are often in the same situation
   of not knowing if and when there might be some resolution to plugin conflicts,
   and what to do next (wait? debug? alter? abandon?), so to me it is a weakness
   of WordPress having so many moving parts that things are constantly being found
   to be not compatible with one another, even if they worked together before (even
   for commercial plugins/themes). I spend a good deal of time troubleshooting.
 * Keep in mind all I said was:
    “No word from this plugin developer after 6 days.”.
 * Nothing derogatory or complaining. That’s not my style.
 * Some of the forum posts I’ve been involved in can go many weeks or even months
   without a reply, so I just needed to know if anyone was ‘out there’ with some
   kind of reply so I could make a business decision whether to move yet again to
   another solution so I could get my customer sites working again (like I had already
   done this very week moving from one ecommerce plugin to another…no fun doing 
   that over and over).
 * So please accept my apologies…I am sorry if it seemed to you I was impatient 
   or rude. I use a lot of commercial plugins and themes that I have paid for to
   try to provide the best solutions for my clients, and I am even willing to donate
   a little towards your plugin to show good faith that I really want to support
   your work and this community, especially since it plays such an important role
   in my work.
 * In closing, with no reflection on you, I am thankful that Woo had graciously 
   responded quickly and for my good fortune, was also able to identify and resolve
   the issue on their side so that both plugins are compatible.
 * Regards,
    ~Jeff
