As much as I hate "+1" posts, I have to say simply: I agree! And thanks
for explaining this far more lucidly than I could have. I'd buy you not
one but *two* beers if we were near each other. Since we're not, I'll
just tip my hat and join you in pushing people who want to filter our
projects out so they can do the filtering they want in a more
appropriate venue. There's nothing wrong with filtering for consumption.
There most certainly *is* a problem with filtering at the source.
