Or here’s a counter idea, just create a rule that sends the offender to the bit bucket automatically. Removes the slog and the offender at the same time.:)
I use rules all the time not just for filtering out the undesirables but also to filter things like monitoring tool output in to a folder for each customer or RFQs in a folder etc. As I said though I know there are a lot of ways to get from here to there. I’m only qualified and barely at that to speak for myself so this is how I’d address the problem but moderation is another very valid way to go. I was just pointing out the alternative but I definitely support and wish the original poster success and will probably join although I don’t want to stir up his list so I may not only because I have a brain to mouth filter problem.:) > On Aug 26, 2015, at 8:10 AM, Donna Goodin <[email protected]> wrote: > > Scott, as you know I'm basically in the same camp as you.
