Thanks Matt. I follow your argument. This certainly should be configurable, but in fact I think this can indeed easily be done with a skip function like you showed. And I do not understand the point of the weekly agenda. The whole point of the weekly agenda is to show what will be coming up during he next dasy, so in a way hiding items that are scheduled on those days is defeating the purpose of the weekly agenda.
