Exclude Shared Tasks from a Smart List?

Hey Everyone...
So as the title suggests, I'm trying to exclude any tasks that are shared from certain Smart Lists I've created.
For context, I am the manager of a small creative team, and we use RTM for managing our one-off tasks that wouldn't be appropriate for a full project management system like Basecamp.
When I create tasks to delegate, I send these to my team members, rather than share them. However, when they create tasks that would be appropriate for me to track, they share them with me so that I can see the status of the task.
However, I have some Smart Lists where it would be appropriate to exclude these shared tasks. For example, I have a one that lists things that are due today or before today, but I want that to be my own tasks, not team tasks. Here's the syntax I've tried:
due:today OR dueBefore:today NOT (list:Sent OR isShared:true)
due:today OR dueBefore:today NOT list:Sent NOT isShared:true
due:today OR dueBefore:today AND isShared:false NOT list:Sent
I've also tried using the sharedWith: operator to no avail. Each of these attempts has succeeded in excluding sent tasks, but not shared.
Can anyone help with this? What am I missing?

Hi notbadbutgood,
You may want to try adding a few more explicit parentheses to your first grouping, e.g.
(due:today OR dueBefore:today) NOT (list:Sent OR isShared:true)
That seems to work correctly for what you're looking to see.
Hope this helps!
