In article <10@calma.uucp>, smithson@calma.uucp (Brian Smithson)
gives a script that prevents him from seeing any postings from a
given individual. I have a modified version of Ken Turkowski's
newsweed, which has been given the ability to filter news by keywords
in the subject line.
For example, if the keywords "Weekly USENET Report," "PMS," or
"Beirut" show up in a title, it's automatically trashed (though the
title line is printed on the screen so you know what's been deleted,
just in case you change your mind).
Newsweed is a nice little utility in its own right: it's main
function is to make a file of subject lines, which you then edit by
deleting uninteresting lines. Articles corresponding to deleted lines
are not presented to you when you run vnews or readnews.
Send mail if you want my version of newsweed (which is a combination
csh/awk script).
