 * I really like your plugin! It does almost exactly what I need.
 * I have a small feature request. Could you add a field to allow users to specify
   the text we want to appear in the drop-down menu? By default, it says “Select
   Author…”. I had to edit the plugin to manually remove the “…” so that the style
   would match the other drop-down menus in the same sidebar. (None of my other 
   drop-downs use “…”.)
 * If you can support this option through a field, then I won’t have to modify the
   plugin again every time it’s updated. It’s a small thing, I realize, but it would
   be a big help since I plan to use your plugin on lots of websites!
 * Thanks very much,
 * Fred Chapman
