This issue has been driving me NUTS. They should have resolved this by now, and offered the "AND" operand, but they still haven't.

Just to piggy back on this, apparently if you use different kinds of filters (for instance, using "created by" and a "Page Property") then you get an "AND" join. If you filter using multiple filters of the same kind (like using "Page Property (Department) = Finance" paired with "Page Property (Department) = Sales"), you get an "OR" join.
That is not nearly fine-enough control of this behavior.
We need the ability to group our filters to create complex joins:
((A AND B) OR (C AND D)) OR ((A AND C) OR (B AND D))
You know, the sort of functionality you can do in most querying environments.
(getting a little tired of Microsoft giving us BACK basic functionality they previously took away, functionality we would have had with virtually any other development environment, and treating the release as if it is a "new functionality")
