Wow... That was quick! :) I'll check this out tonight!

Hmm... Indeed a problem. Maybe there could be a function to activate/deactivate the given rule, and have it parsed if activated. Is the rules manager that flexible yet? Maybe you can point me in the right direction there and I could come up with a patch for that :) Let me know your thoughts.
