Due to some changes in "overview" section I want to repeat my previous thread about my conception of SS setting what was originaly posted in Polsh forum. Presented English version is made by Google Translator so I know that's can be sometime not clear...sorry :) Basic version of review is also to get as a PDF file (as an attachement to article).
Thread has been updated with my small test about corelations between protection levels and the way of creating rules (post #5). Whole presented content
Google Translate
The test mentioned abowe was posted on Wilders also (# 111)
