 * This plugin has been used thousands of times without flaw — I don’t think it’s
   relevant to the negative experience you’ve had.

 * while I disagree with the OP’s assertion, it should be noted that this plugin
   uses snoopy, and that the plugin has **not** been upgraded since the most recent
   snoopy insecurity came out.
 * The consequences of that, I am unsure of, but it is food for thought, for anyone
   that currently uses it. Maybe someone ought to make the plugin author aware of
   that?
