Not rude at all. On further examination, it is a really nice plugin, with tons of flexibility. I haven't yet hit a wall with it. When I do, I will be back with questions, but I am sure I can do a lot with it until then. I was thrown by its really low version number -- it surely deserves more than version 0.13. It should really be 1.13, if anything. These numbers may be cosmetic, but they do convey some pedigree. And, it also got a lukewarm review from Mark Stosberg, but to me it seems like a very nice, comprehensive and flexible plugin.
