They're for correlation.  There used to be several of us who did similar 
things on a(n almost) daily basis.  I'm the only one left.  They're 
purposely marked with [LOGS] in the subject so you have something easy 
to filter on if they bore and/or annoy you.

As to the missing m$ ports, there are so #%^#$#@ many of them that I 
have been forced to drop packets destined for TCP 135 and 445 outside 
the sensor.

It's much more important to know what you don't know than what you do know!
