Yes, my score. Given one of Marc's other comments about how he maintains his white list (and his insistence on keeping Constant Contact on the white list rather than NOBL), I'm considering lowering its impact in my channel, with exceptions like the rule I posted here. If anybody is just browsing through this list for anything that resembles a rule, they deserve what they get for not reading the disclaimers in the same message or the responses the post generates. This also reminds me of a request I made for SA to support expiration times on rules... Regarding a rule to hunt for CC: >>> Wholly inappropriate, IMHO.

I was trying to help satisfy a request so that the user doesn't get into trouble implementing something that might create extra FNs. I was *NOT* proposing that rule for a larger body. In hindsight, I should not have put my name in the rule.
