Hmm, interesting approach! It wouldn't be my default approach to
tackling the problem due to my continuing lack of familiarity/comfort
with A/T, but I can see how having the event definition listed and the
parameters editable through the staff client would be preferable to
cronned SQL script hiding away in the depths of a server somewhere.

I suspect Action/Trigger is still enough of a mystery to most people
that a blog post on how to make a custom rule like this work in practice
would be quite valuable. </beg></plead>
