Matt, I'm trying to understand the logic behind including content you don't
want to block in both the capture and anti-capture files.  Why add the extra
processing required to parse both files to tag some content and then tag it
again with the same negative weight, just so it can end up with a zero
weight again?  If you don't tag it with a positive weight in the first
place, you will not need to tag it again with a negative weight, and you
still have the same end result, content that has zero weight applied to it,
and you've saved the CPU cycles.

I must be missing something here...?

Bill
