i don't know if my main point was as apparent as i thought it was so i'll try it 
again with different verbiage...

VRT has disabled the flowbit set rules by default. VRT has created this problem 
where the below quoted rules are broken by default... if VRT, by default, 
disables rules that set flowbits, VRT should also, by default, disable all rules 
that use that flowbit...

make sense??

thanks for your response! :)
