Well, the difference is that they ware not exact inverses of each other.

'allow' is a soft limit. It means OKAY if it matches, and MAYBE if it fails.

'deny' is a hard limit it means NO if it matches and MAYBE if it fails.

Yours matches the timespan and lets through... or else what? MAYBE gets
through thats what.

Mine matches the non-timespan and blocks immediately. Only skipping to
next rule if they are allowed.
