-<P>So the filter is wrapped in between a pair of square brackets. This tells Spider to look in between these limits. Then each line is contained within its own square brackets and ends with a comma.
-Lets look carefully at the first line. The first element is 0 (drop). Therefore anything we put on this line will not be accepted. The next element is 4. This means we are filtering by the spotter. The third element is the letter "a" which tells the program to expect an alphanumeric expression in the fourth element. The fourth element is a list of letters separated by the pipe symbol.

-<P>What this line does is tell the program to drop any spots posted by anyone in the USA, Canada or Japan.

-<P>The second line is the default rule for anything else. The "d" tells us this and the line simply reads... accept anything else.
