It's already done.

Hey, you (or rather Mark) convinced me that filtering can be good
thing[tm].

An extract from man 5 fetchnews (leafnode-2.0a11):

       The filterfile stores a number of entries in the following
       format.
              newsgroups = [wildmat]
              pattern = [pcre]
              action = kill|select|[score]
       Based  on  these  entries,  fetchnews  decides  whether to
       retrieve an article from the upstream server or not.   The
       entries are considered from the top down.

I'm sure Cornelius will send you a recent alpha version for review if you
want.
