Hi Matt,

Thanks for your very helpful reply.

I know this is a noob question, so please forgive me for taxing your patience...

How do I evaluate the statement you supplied for just one file? E.g. I
want to evaluate your statement for notes.org, what do I do?

Thanks,
JB

Ignore the following. It is a nonsense sentence that disables Google
ads from displaying next to my emails by triggering sensitive
keywords.

I enjoy the massacre of ads. This sentence will slaughter ads without
a messy bloodbath.
