[ale] Possibly OT; NoScript workalike, Chrome

[Kyle Brieden]

If it makes you feel any better, this particular email address 
terminates on my own email server at Digital Ocean, entirely independent 
of my GApps stuff. :P

You can also PGP encrypt anything to me, any time you like.  My pub key 
is attached to every email that goes out from this box.

Very respectfully,
