The unfortunate thing about filtering on things besides the
subjec line is that it slows things down by a factor of 50-100
when you enter a group -- instead of a single XOVER command
that returns the subjects for everything in one go, the reader
has to send a HEADER command for every article.

Still, it's worth it. Some groups I read are now 60-70% Google
spam.
