Are you seriously concerned that there's some sort of nefarious activity hidden deep in the bowels of this completely open-source project? I understand caution, and all, but can you honestly imagine something evil in such a common/popular open-source project remaining secret for so long?
No, i'm not concerned in any way. It's just a matter of caution to restrict applications access to the web. Actually, i see no reason to give Sigil full access. (I don't use any web-based validation etc.)

If there werent those nasty crashes, i would'nt start this thread.
