 * bro your website says you only load the tracking that is needed for services 
   like facebook, google etc.
    this is complete bullshit!
 * you are using AddThis to create your plugin and its adding INSANE amounts of 
   tracking to my site that has nothing to do with any of these services!!!!!!!
 * s7.addthis.com
    m.addthisedge.com m.addthis.com all 3 resolve to over 100 tracking
   services that do nothing except collect the data for Addthis and have nothing
   to do with the plugin working with ONE exception: [http://s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js](http://s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js)
   is needed for the plugin to function. So i created that exact file and engued
   it, guess what, it has the other dns lookups for addthis internal tracking hard
   coded in!!!!!!

 * Not sure how you concluded this plugin is adding DNS requests to addthis domains.
   You have the code of the plugin. Do a search for “addthis” keyword throughout
   the code and let me know if you can find a single instance of this.
    You would
   want to be sure that you downloaded Super Socializer from WordPress.org plugin
   repository.
