The other YesScript
While Googling around I found that someone else once made an extension called YesScript. It’s a single blog entry by a guy named Zhang Ling, and the install link is broken. It looks like his YesScript worked just like my YesScript, except his additionally has a global on/off button. I’ve tried to contact him, but got no reply. From a Babelfish translation:
Considered the company intellectual property rights related rules and regulations, YesScript is unable to put to male on-line downloading, at present only can open for the internal staff uses.
Too bad I had to spend time to create it myself because of IBM’s IP rights. Oh well, now we have a free YesScript. Normally, I’d be of the opinion that it’s bad form to name an extension the same as another one, but since the other doesn’t seem to be active or ever posted anywhere, I think I’ll be fine.

Hi Jason, I see your trackback this morning about YesScript. You’re right that I did not make it public available because of IP issues. If you’d like to use this name and make your tool free available to more people, I’m fine with it.
I probably won’t spend more time on this small tool any more and will keep it AS-IS internally (IBM).
Cheers
Ling
