 * Hello,
 * This plugin is excellent.
 * I have a form that is used from multiple pages. Each page has a specific focus/
   subject.
 * I created the form to include a select drop down that has an entry for all of
   the focus/subjects.
 * Is there a way from within the shortcode to set the default value of this select
   value to match the desired focus/subject. This way when the user enables the 
   form, the focus/subject from the invoking page can be defined as the default 
   value for this specific drop down selector.
 * I have looked at numerous plugins, this buy far is one of the best ones I have
   come across.
