Re: [Logs-devel] why two options in rule?

[Jim Prewett]

Hello,

match vs. no-match and delete vs. no-delete are inspired by Logsurfer.  
I'm not really sure why the no- versions exist :)  I have never found a 
use for them in LoGS (they're somewhat useful in Logsurfer).

Maybe they should just be removed to simplify things?
