So let's say that I'm in your Bad Guy filter, and I post a message,
and someone in your Good Guy filter responds. Won't you see my post
anyway, because Good Guy included my post in his reply?

The truth table has more than 1 square. You are ASSuMEing

1) Someone will respond.
(Maybe your IF statement should have stated
that your post is truly fascinating. 8-)

2) The someone who responds hasn't been pre-plonked.
(OK--already a condition of your IF statement.)

3) *That* someone is interested enough in your *whole* message
to blockquote it in its entirety.

...and y'know,
*your* trimming should be stripping the sig(s) of previous posters
(anything below and including
the line containing only <hyphen><hyphen><space>).

...but, yeah, *if* all the conditions are met,
someone who filters rigorously will see your post
--or at least what's left of it after trimming.


Poor Jim... 8-)

Replies to dorks are always an issue, though they tend to be one
subject, thus easy to kill.
