This is where you don't want me to say: "We have developed these 
features in house, and will therefore keep them to ourselves".

Right?

We have a "people who have bought this product also bought" extension on

code (which he paid for), we are waiting for a reaction.

It's open source Eef, work with us here! Grow up!
