<P>Another important concept to know is that you can do everything you want to do
with multiple reject filters AND NO ACCEPT FILTERS. By default, if a spot
doesn't match any of the reject filter definitions, then the system considers
-you want the spots and sends it to you. For example, the following two filters

The spot doesn't match the filter definition, so pass it to
next filter.

Since the spot matches the filter definition, the spot is rejected
