I'll repeat what I wrote in post#9

Even though this is a hack, my code/module is/was released under the GPL licence, which means that technically Luke has done nothing 'wrong' with his modified release, as such I have no official grounds for complaint. I seriously doubt that the admins will remove his module simply because it has a bug or two. Most modules do (at least in the early stages of development). In fact I hope they *don't* remove it, because it does provide people an alternative to the subscription based system, and I'd seriously much rather have people voluntarily subscribe to support our services rather than have them subscribe under the impression that there isn't any other choice
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

What I've found most annoying about your hack is the LACK OF SUPPORT. On more than one occasion now I've found myself having to offer help and advice to folk using your module. Needless to say, the *best* advice I've generally been able to give is to urge them to use the code that is actually supported, in other cases I've reluctantly ignored these requests for help, which I find quite upsetting to do. I feel that I'm actually punishing these people by ignoring them, which is something that most folk around here know is against my nature. I try to help anyone I can, regardless of any personal views.

When you uploaded your hacked code, did you ever take a look at the submission requirements? I'll refresh your memory.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Support: A support thread in the appropriate Addons/Contributions area of the Zen Cart® support forum should be opened following activation of a submitted contribution, where free support for that addon will delivered by the author and the community at large. Support for the addon should take place on the Zen Cart® forum.

Luke, if you are NOT prepared to offer support IN THIS FORUM then you should remove this module and host it on your own website instead.

It is unfair to both myself and the users of your module to have it hosted here if you aren't willing and able to support it here.

I've nothing more to say on this matter.
