 * If I have more than 2000 subscribers on wp, the plugin asks for premium version,
   although not all users are in the mailing list. That is not OK.
 * The plugin automatically import wordpress users. Why is that? The users have 
   to ask for the email, not to have it by default.
    – when installing plugin, it
   import wp users -> should be an option to / not to – when updating plugin, it
   reimport wp users -> should be an option to / not to – when try to delete wp 
   users from wp users list, it doesn’t work, the lists is imported again and again,
   after every delete

 * Hey Ghera, we enforce WP users as subscribers by design.
 * Under 5% of websites are membership websites. Most of these websites want to 
   send emails their users.
 * We generally consider that users with a user base of over 2,000 run active membership
   or e-commerce websites and that they have every intention of emailing them at
   one point.
 * It’s a choice we made in the beginning to simplify it for ourselves. We don’t
   plan on changing it, unfortunately.

 * Well, that’s a bunch of BS.
 * I run a multisite.
 * One subsite has 3k “users”, aka, I had our employees sign in ONCE to submit some
   data.
 * The subsite that I use MailPoet on has 300 users and I need the newsletter to
   be sent to all 300 users.
 * But your new plugin won’t let me do that without paying because of the other 
   subsite.
 * I will not be purchasing your plugin just to send mail to 300 users.
 * And if you cannot support that, I will find another way to send newsletters.
