 * I wasted 40 minutes of my time configuring this and the Google Calendar APIs,
   only to be told that any useful function is disabled unless I cough up $60.
 * I will never, ever try this again, and if I can find a way, I’ll give it a thourough
   review on TrustPilot as well.

 * Hi Ladela,
 * Thanks for your prompt reply – it is appreciated.
 * Of course, I understand that almost everyone offers a crippled version of their
   plugins these days – that’s well understood: you have to tempt people to try 
   the software with enough functionality for them to get used to it and consider
   spending money. And your plugin is very good, I’m sure. It seems to me that by
   preventing the user connecting to a Google calendar at all might be shooting 
   yourself in the foot though: if we’re prevented from being able to make any use
   of the product whatsoever, there is no opportunity to show it to the client and
   prepare them to pay for ‘yet another’ plugin: what they cannot see in action *
   at all* they have no ability to assess.
 * I apologise for my outburst: but if had known I would not be able to make any
   use of the product whatsoever – if you had warned me of that upfront (in other
   words, that there is no ‘Lite’ version, maybe I could have spent my 40-minute
   install attempt comparing your product with others.

 * Hi Mark,
 * I appreciate you taking time to explain your point.
 * Indeed, it would be better to partially include the Google Calendar functionality
   in the future, although it would require some quality time of our engineers so
   I’m afraid that this will not be possible to implement in the nearest future.
   There are lots of open cases from our customers and several high priority fixes
   that always take our development team’s time. We appreciate your honesty and 
   understanding. Please, do not hesitate to email us once you have any other questions
   on plugin’s functionality.
