The part which is not clear is why

(1) you don't understand my question, which was actually formulated in polite terms;
(2) you reply in an arrogant way, completely ignoring the fact that I couldn't have suggested using

127.0.0.1 OK
* REJECT

if I hadn't read the page you mentioned (pattern first, action afterwards, actions being OK and REJECT, and 127.0.0.1 and
"*" patterns which I thought might comply with the rules) and actually UNDERSTOOD it. The fact is that the kinds of patterns
enumerated in that page don't tell you how/if you can represent a group of addresses/users/hosts with a singular pattern
using wildcards or regexps for one or more fields of the addresses

Besides that, thank you for the

section, which actually was something both interesting to read AND apparently written by a normal, polite person.
