Hello BillG,
On Monday, September 11, 2000 at 20:31:51 GMT -0400 (which was 5:31 PM
where I live) witnesses say BillG typed:
> I can't seem to perform a logical "or" function with the thebat's
> filters. I have this rule
> String: "InfoBeat Fun" | "adm-humor"
> Location: subject
> Presence: yes
Easiest thing first. Check the spelling of "adm-humor". Make sure
the mailing list isn't using "adm-humour" or that you haven't
accidentally mistyped it.
That's probably not the problem. I don't care for the | method of
creating OR connections in TB. I find they can be ambiguous. I won't
go into all the details, but suffice it to say that I prefer using one
Main rule and one Alternate rule for OR connections.
If you want to try the Alternate rule system, on your main rule, it
should look like the following:
String Location Presence
InfoBeat Fun Subject Yes
Then add an alternate rule by going to the alternate tab and clicking
Insert. Now make this one look like:
String Location Presence
adm-humor Subject Yes
Hopefully this will do the trick for you.
