@Greg Jones: AFAICT, you are exactly correct, that all I'm asking for is a preference option to have SALs show the top Action only when filtering by Next Action. Why not create regular Projects? Because SALs are independent Actions that don't lead to an outcome. You are correct that doing so would be a workaround, but I very much like the separation of SALs from Projects, conceptually. It is an important distinction.

@whpalmer4: "create a perspective or two that didn't include the SALs contributing all of the "noise" to the view." I may be missing the obvious, but how would one systematically filter out SALs from view in a Perspective? If that is possible, you may have the winning ticket. Thanks.
