Warren, I did not accuse you of abusing the system or malicious intent,
neither meant to imply it. I didn't intend to insult you either.
However, I did find it a bit odd that you are dropping various heavy-
weight rules into the sandbox for everyone else to run, "with no
intention of ever adding them to the standard ruleset" (your words).
As I said before, IMHO the mass-checks are an instrument to measure SA
rule's performance, so the declared intent should be, to add them to SA
in one form or another. If all you want is to get a first impression of
a new BL, you can easily add an informational rule locally first. This
also often is likely to yield more accurate results, due to timing and
corpus age issues anyway.
