ahh, ok, you cannot say local*.* you would have to list 
local0.*,local1.*,.. to cover them all

there are 16 facility numbers, and by filtering out local0-local7 you are 
wanting to eliminate exactly half of them

as such it's probably just as easy to list all the ones you want to record 
as it is to say *.* and subtract half of them.
