thanks! i'll give those and the others mentioned a try..

Not that i really feel competent to be "securing" something for open web use, but.... i guess it's better than nothing!

i was sort of hoping (hint, hint) that some of the high-ranking Saints around here might give the plugin a go-over. It looks to me like there's a LOT of people out there using it as-is.... and i'm sure the author would welcome some free, good feedback.
