Matt, I have no desire to get into an argument or flaming contest with you. We agree that "standard" filters have a valuable place in this environment and we both use "standard" filters. We agree that neither of us have the desire to spend countless hours tweaking filters and that automated solutions are the way to simplify this effort. We have each taken different approaches using different methodologies and tools to do this, based on our own skill sets, backgrounds, need perceptions and other factors. We are both appreciative of the effort that many people have put into developing and maintaining these products and freely sharing them with us, and I'm sure that we're both willing to contribute in any way we can to assist in these efforts. We happen to disagree regarding the extent that these "standard" filters can be applied to our own specific environments. So be it. We also disagree on the value of analysis. So be it.
