If you really hate to use the '|' operator, or somehow '|' doesn't
work (it always works here, so I use it all the time), you may parse
the same condition to
A or B or (C and D and E) or (C and D and F)
and use four rule sets (1 primary plus 3 alternatives) to do it.

I agree. It's usually easier to debug that way.
BTW, nice to be back. The past week has been full of horror stories,
one of which involves dealing with the cable company (AT&T Cable
Service) and the Internet over cable modem service provider (ISP
Channel). I still haven't got my cable modem service, yet. :( Having
used to ethernet connection for the past two years, dial-up modem
connection is really killing me. Hope I can get my cable modem
connection before the school begin (when the modem pool starts
getting crowded).
