Actually I can. The author of this code is a friend of mine who works with the EFF, and the idea that she's secretly sending malicious scripts to some people but not others from her MIT web hosting space under her own name is simply not plausible.

Unless, she's already compromised your browser and the two previous comments are in fact placed by her!

In all seriousness, I appreciate the added context your (particularly this last clarifying comment) add to the discussion.
