 * Here is what I am referring to:
 * Installation
 *  If you are using Subscribe To Comments by Mark Jaquith, disable it (no need 
   to uninstall it, though)
    Upload the entire folder and all the subfolders to 
   your WordPress plugins’ folder. You can also use the downloaded ZIP file to upload
   it. Activate it Customize the Permalink value under Settings > Subscribe to Comments
   > Management Page > Management URL. It must reflect your permalinks’ structure

 * Yes, I am still on-base with what Jetpack uses from your subscribers. This is
   directly off their privacy page:
 * QUOTE: Follower and Subscriber Information: When a visitor signs up to follow
   or subscribe to a Site using Jetpack or WordPress.com, we collect the sign-up
   information requested by the Site, which typically includes an email address.
 * So Jetpack wouldn’t be what I am looking for.

 * Isn’t the Jetpack plugin just another mystery entity that you have no guarantee
   of what is happening to your subscriber’s email addresses? I tried to track Jetpack
   down a few years ago and abandoned them because I got no guarantee the email 
   addresses were not being “farmed out”. If I am recalling correctly, the email
   addresses are kept within their architecture rather than your own database.

 * Agreed, I hope they paid highly for it. A list of valid user emails interested
   in a specific topic is a valuable thing to pass to the wrong person or group,
   or really anyone outside the circle where they placed their trust.

 * Well then, can you as an improvement to usability make the ReadyGraph a little
   less “in your face”. The big full screen ReadyGraph that comes up by default 
   on the plugin settings could just be a check marked option in my opinion. Also
   can you provide a way to stop the pop up banner on the site admin’s plug-in panel
   that keeps appearing every time you go to the plug in panel and informing the
   admin they need to install readygraph until (I assume) someone installs it. Thanks!

 * Where can I find v9.5? I searched online and all the links I can find point me
   to the new ReadyGraph version. It looks like the only email subscription plugin
   we are left with that doesn’t send out lists of email subscribers to Google or
   WordPress.com or Readygraph or some other unknown is this paid plugin
    [https://premium.wpmudev.org/project/subscribe-by-email/](https://premium.wpmudev.org/project/subscribe-by-email/)
   I have spoken with the developers and to get the plugin you have to pay an initial
   $19 for this plugin but this puts you on a monthly billing cycle for support 
   for it. They say you can cancel that immediately and continue to use the plugin
   without having to pay the subscription. However, you do have to re-enable the
   subscription for another $19 whenever you need an update.
 * In the meantime if anyone has the last 9.5 version, please let me know where 
   to find. I’ll likely go with it until a wordpress revision causes it to start
   to fail, then I’ll migrate to the paid.
 * Funny, I just submitted a request to WordPress.org to include an email subscription
   to the core. They claimed as a “nitche” requirement and that there are “plenty
   of plugins for it”. I guess I am missing something that there must be just a 
   handful of blogers who have people interested enough to subscribe to new posts
   or that everyone is on board with turning over their subscriber lists for use
   by blind entities?

 * Depends on what one considers “free”. If a plugin collects a site’s list of email
   IDs of subscribers and sends that list of email subscribers to Google, Facebook,
   WordPress.com, ReadyGraph or XYZ.com, then to me the plugin is NOT free but is
   instead compromising our user’s personal information while robbing one of the
   largest assets of the website, the private user subscription lists.

 * Since there is no reply yes/no if our updating to the new Subscribe2 release 
   while overtly avoiding installing ReadyGraph, if saying NO will still send all
   our existing subscribing customer email addresses to the ReadyGraph cloud or 
   not – there could be legal ramifications if this indeed occurs. You might want
   to check into it if that is their plan. Your customers, and unfortunately for
   the people who liked this plugin the way it was but didn’t contribute enough 
   of a monetary incentive to keep you on as the developer, they may be stricken
   with quite a surprise when they find all their web subscribers emails have been
   whiffed up to the ReadyGraph cloud if this is indeed the plan of the existing
   roll-out.

 * I will pay for the code before I would agree for my user community to start getting
   ads or offers of how “Dear user you might enjoy this or that blog if you liked
   the other blog you just subscribed to”.

   a lite and a paid version with more features without the collection of data involved.

 * By the same token you can just say yes/no that the ReadyGraph gourp is collecting
   our user’s email addresses or not. Everyone wants free, and people who like to
   code often provide free code as a hobby or as a reward for self accomplishment(
   see OpenSource). You are right, we have the choice to use a plugin or not. What
   is a bit hard to understand though is why someone who says something is free 
   would all of a sudden start collecting their trusting user’s info and not make
   it clear that is happening.
 * If you are collecting info, that is certainly your prerogative. I just would 
   like to know with a yes or no answer. That is all, no ill will is implied, just
   disappointment. Thanks again for your response.

 * Do you absolutely guarantee that ReadyGraph is not getting access to my list 
   of subscribed users or any analytical data from my users if I don’t sign up for
   it? Thank you.

 * Why does a banner keep popping up on my Admin panel (which will inevitably cause
   an unsuspecting admin to accidentally install it) telling me it needs to be installed?
   I can’t get past the giant ReadyGraph panel to access any of the plugin settings.
   The only option is to sign up for it. I can’t see how to get rid of all the nags
   and past forced sign-up banner and into the plugin customization panel.
