[theme-reviewers] Question

[James Laws]

Chip,

I can see what you mean and Definitely not as a default tab. My thought is
I don't have a problem with a theme or plugin developer pitching me more of
their products within their product. If I like the one I'm using I might
like their other stuff. If I don't, I won't have whatever they offer
installed to show me that in the first place.

I agree that it should be done in a professional (not spammy)
and unobtrusive way.

I'm open to being completely wrong on this issue though. :)

James
