 * Love this plugin, but I’ve noticed it creates a new custom field on every post
   each time that post is updated.
 * I have some posts on my site that have over 100 of these on a single post.
 * It has created a massively inflated WP database size.
 * Is there any was to limit the custom fields the plugin creates on each post, 
   to for example, 1?
 * Thanks.
