 * Already being familiar with osCommerce, I decided to give this plugin a try. 
   After some initial smoke testing, I was happy to see it working very well.
 * Everyone who does web-based sales or email marketing knows the value of their
   user list. **The money is in the list!**
 * So, I evaluate every plugin by what features it adds to my website and how those
   features add value to my website’s users. Based on this, I’ve come up with a 
   couple issues, I would consider fairly major, and that would have to be resolved
   before I could ever consider going live with this plugin on one of my websites.
 * – – – – –
 * 1. I have not found any user integration between WordPress and this plugin. Why
   would I want people who already have a registered account on my WordPress website,
   to also have to register an account with this plugin, just to access my store?
   Unless I’m missing something, that is a terrible oversight, especially when evaluating
   user experience.
 * This plugin should expand on the WordPress “users” area, allowing all registered
   users to be logged into both the WordPress website and the Store. If I have 100,000
   or even 1,000,000 subscribers on my WordPress website, why should they have to
   create another account to use my store?
 * When a person registers a user account on the WordPress website, that should 
   give them access to the store. If a person registers for an account through the
   store (I.E. this plugin), it should add them to the WordPress website’s users
   automatically.
 * Am I missing something here?
 * – – – – –
 * 2. Having a newsletter and mass email feature is a **H-U-G-E deal**, adding to
   the awesomeness of this plugin. Kudos to the brains behind those features 😉
 * However, I don’t see that this plugin has any control over time and volume when
   sending out email, which, to me, is another terrible oversight.
 * Again, if I have 100,000 or even 1,000,000 subscribers on my WordPress website,
   and I want to email them all, it is extremely highly likely I’m going to end 
   up getting blocked for spamming?
 * There has to be some controls added for volume and timing.
 * AOL, Apple, Google, Microsoft and most other email providers (public and private)
   have limits on the number of delivered messages coming in to their systems, within
   a specified amount of time. They also have limits on the total number of emails,
   received on their system, by a specific sender, within a specified amount of 
   time.
 * Your system only accounts for small lists and I don’t know anyone who builds 
   an online storefront thinking they want to only sell to a few people. That’s 
   the point of the internet – sell to everyone.
 * Again, I may be missing something. If that is the case, cool – just point me 
   to the place(s) I need to go to configure these types of controls
 * – – – – –
 * The whole idea of your plugin is to provide an online storefront, and with the
   exception of the two issues I listed above, I think it does this very well.
 * Thank you for your commitment to WordPress with the development of this awesome
   plugin.
