   Doing twit filtering in this manner forces it upon all of your downlinks as    
   well.  A better solution is to configure twit filtering in your editor.     
   GoldED has this ability.  Another possibility is a program that reads your    
   message bases and deletes the twit messages there.  The big difference being    
   that this way passes all of the messages on to your downlinks.
