 No plugins' developper knows where to put its own menu.[[BR]]
 Some of them puts it in Options, or in Manage, or in Plugins sub-
 menu.[[BR]]
 What are the true differences between Options and Manage? No plugins
 developer knows, because they seem to be synonyms. As there is no
 cohesion, the user is lost, and clicks everywhere to find it.[[BR]]
 I have plugins menus everywhere, i.e. UTW has one in Options and another
 one in Manage.

 I believe core developers must restrict this messy situation and impose a
 rule that everybody shall follow.[[BR]]
 Themes functions are under Themes menu, so plugins options shall be in
 Plugins menu.[[BR]]
 Plugins are one of the best feature of WordPress, now the lack of cohesion
 in this matter is spoiling the ease of use.
