It would be difficult for a hacker to distribute a malicious script in this environment."

"All I can say is that just like any other software, you should think a tiny bit before installing a user script," Boodman wrote. "Make sure the author is someone you trust, or at least in a social network you trust."

Your email to me was no-reply. I don't know who you are, and I'd like to.
Please email me again so we can chat.
