If the controller asks for errors, it gets only errors in response.

If the controller asks for warnings, it gets both errors and warnings.

If the controller asks for advisory message, it gets errors, warnings, and advisory messages.

It's a concept similar to that used by many error logging mechanics in computer OS's. You tell it the minimum importance level of the messages you want to see, and it will show you everything that is that important, as well as messages that are more important.

I got it now.
Thanks Eric.
