 * It is possible to exclude multiple categories from the WP_Query by incorporating
   a string like:
    cat=-1,-2,-3
 * but when I try to exclude multiple authors it the query only excludes the first
   author.
 * i.e
    author=-5,-8,-54 only authorID 5 is excluded.
 * Is it possible to exclude multiple authors?
