The "set" rule is noalert. You'll never see it alert.

true but perhaps someone sets them to show an alert? ;)

Is that something you do?  I'm not asking that to be a smartass, I'm asking
if that's actually a use case that I haven't studied.

we have had some folks do that so they could follow thru with the processing 
flow and the rules that are seen... it was a mess that some of them regretted 
having done and a revert of the updater's conf along with a new rules pack 
download sussed that...

at least they were smart enough to also adjust the priority to 5 or higher so 
the reactive alert blocking mechanism didn't go blocking the entire internet 
based on them ;)
