BBBS also has a twit filter. It is a non destructive filter. Each user can set
up a filter on names or subjects they'd rather not be bothered with. Then
those messages are just skipped when reading mail online or downloading a
packet for an offline reader.

It doesn't work for user 0 though, so I press enter/next a lot.

Yes, the old standby!
