 * Hello. I just now installed your plugin, being as a few other related security/
   recaptcha plugins have been giving me login problems of various types.
 * I have a few beginner questions.
 * 1. On the “Security” tab, under the “WPBruiser Bruce Force Settings”, upon installation,
   only one of the four boxes is checked. Do you recommend enabling the other three
   boxes?
 * 2. On the “Security” tab, do I need to add my public IP address to the White 
   List, or is it already included by default?
 * 3. On the “WordPress” tab in the “WordPress Standard Forms Settings”, none of
   the four boxes are enabled. Do you advise enabling all four of them?
 * 4. Is there any difference between the “Protect Login Form” and “Protect Registration
   Form” options on the “WordPress” tab and the “Membership” tab? Or are they the
   same? In other words, do they need to be enabled on BOTH tabs, or just on one
   of them?
 * Basically, I am wondering if some of the above options should be enabled by default,
   out of the box, when the user first installs your plugin. Doing so might help
   to avoid a little bit of confusion on the part of the new user of your plugin.
   Just a thought. 🙂
