Yes, this is the problem with both the extensions and templates. Even
worse, many of these extensions only carried the author's name with no
email or url to track them down.

Hi :)
Google or FaceBook can be alarmingly good at finding people, unless they have a
common name such as Tom Davies, John Smith and even worse if they don't have a
FaceBook account ;) I googled myself but got bored after 6 pages of people
with
my name. I haven't joined FaceBook as i don't need to show-off how many
"friends" (acquaintances?) i don't/do have ;)
Regards from
Tom :)
