filtering a digest?

[Dustin Robert Kick]

Is there any way I can filter out messages from a digest? I don't
need instant updates from this forum, so I get it in digest form, and
I'd like to be able to get the digest, with certain messages removed,
such as any messages titled "Another puppy gets trained", or "Rod
Speed".

NOT "forum".

Since you posted via Port 80,

start by learning that *this* is NOT "Google Groups":

so I get it in digest form, and
I'd like to be able to get the digest, with certain messages removed,
such as any messages titled "Another puppy gets trained",
or "Rod Speed".

Next, get a REAL newsreader:

After that, install another layer:

If YOU have no choice but to use a *Web-based* interface to Usenet,
your options are limited.
There are several screen filters available:

New link for last item there:

....and finally, if you can't get to Port 119
and/or you can't install stufff on the box you use:
Stop bitching and learn to live with it.

wow, I figured out how to install "stufff"... wait, no,that's right, I
already had it installed, the "real" newsreader. and don't like the
interface. I guess I can live without "sci"."electronics".basics, where
the bulk of messages are flame wars.

Install newsproxy and filter out the trash. The information is
available in the link below. Sample filters are available form several
people on the various sci.electronics.* newsgroups for the asking.
