 * Considering the weeks worth of hours I’ve put into creating, providing and supporting
   a plugin that people seem to really like and offering it for free, I disagree.
 * A subtle, non-intrusive, single-line comment such as this is perfectly acceptable
   in my opinion and I’m sure most users would agree.

 * Completely understandable. Undoubtedly you’ve poured a lot of time and effort
   into this, but I feel the way it is currently implemented, gives both the plugin,
   and the website it is used on, a less polished look. This could potentially be
   a deal-breaker for some.
 * Might I suggest dropping the catchy text and emoticon for something more professional
   looking, like this:
