You already have too many to pick from, and you want more? What you 
need to
do is read the man pages and the book sections on pf, and figure out 
what you
really want to do. Looking at various examples can help, but is no 
substitute
for understanding what the various commands do.

Turn them all off. Turn them on when somebody important complains.
