[LARTC] how to remove rules

[Chris Bennett]

Cool, thanks.  I've never been too good at "complex" scripting myself (I 
have a mental block of seeing all complex scripting as inelegant and 
sub-optimal by nature, so I understand your comment about "inelegance"), but 
I see exactly what you're doing, and it seems about as elegant as possible 
with a script.  Very nice.  That goes right into my routing script.
