Hmm, interesting approach! It wouldn't be my default approach to tackling the problem due to my continuing lack of familiarity/comfort with A/T, but I can see how having the event definition listed and the parameters editable through the staff client would be preferable to cronned SQL script hiding away in the depths of a server somewhere. I suspect Action/Trigger is still enough of a mystery to most people that a blog post on how to make a custom rule like this work in practice would be quite valuable. </beg></plead>
