Missed that... they look sufficiently similar in a san-serif font that
these eyes skimmed over it.

Technicality or not, it's time to black hole dizum, IMO.

Now I just need to find the equivalent of NFilter for OS X, or at least
BSD... Still lookin'.

I'm running Thoth, but my news feed (supernews) doesn't index all the
headers for the XHDR command, so there are some that I can't filter on
as a result.

And, you can't download Thoth any more. The author had another of his
snit fits and pulled all his software, completely.

Dave,

While I'm not wild about a couple of things on it Thoth can filter on
27 different criteria. You can download a free trial at Thothsw.com
it's at least worth a look for an OSX native app that may solve your
problem.

Wasn't aware of that. I've not tried to download anything from them
recently. I've pretty much ignored our BAD impersonator but set up
filters for every dirty word I know and selectivly killed authors who
annoy me and it's pretty much made the wreck a pleasant place to be.
(or as as pleasant as it's gonna get :^ )
