take @ thread: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,244279.0.html

pretty rewrite condition covered here.  since newb when comes nuts , bolts of these rewrite conditions , mean, put list in .htaccess as-is.  there later discussion suggesting of lines redundant or can covered catch-all rewrite, left mine alone.  see 0 noticeable impact of sites' performance , far can tell , of attempts slipping through 200 returning 403.

good luck!
