   Hello Martin,   
      
   On 28.04.19, you wrote to August Abolins:

   I *knew* those settings looked like they were for some sophisticated   
   processing!   
      
   I will update the PRO CON table.

   DONE, at least for one name.  When does the purge kick in?

   Yes.. Too bad we can't twit *while* reading a message. :(  It's a lot of steps   
   just to block one name.

   Maybe, someday.  I'm afraid to misinterpret the German and select the wrong   
   setting.
