   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!
