 * Hi,
    Great functionality. Especially like the offset and exclude paramaters.
 * Was wondering if there were some performance implications when using tags versus
   category and if there is some impact on using offset.
 * I used P3 plugin to check on difference between using offset combined with exclude
   previous messages compared to only exclude previous messages. I noticed there
   were 3 more queries when I had the offset enabled.
 * So probably I shouldn’t use offset at all. But I was wondering if there was a
   difference between tags or category when using the widget selection?
