Now, now. ;-) There's room enough here for everyone. So, it sounds
like people would like filters for each distro? One for Off-topic and
one for beer meeting stuff?
TOPICS FILTERS
------ ----------------------------
Debian debian(?i)
Slackware slack(ware)?(?i)
Fedora/Red Hat fedora(?i)
red(?=hat)(?i)
RH
Mandrake mandrake(?i)
Gentoo gentoo(?i)
Beer Meeting beer.*(meeting)?(?i)
OFF-?TOPIC, OT off-?topic(?i)
OT
The regular expression matching rules for the filters are listed in the
Python 're' module[1] and the Regular Expression HOWTO[2]. The '(?i)'
at the end of the expression makes the filter case insensitive.
I believe you can "cross-post" the topics. E.g. Let's say my problem
involves both the linux kernel and Debian. My "Keywords: " header would
read "Keywords: debian, kernel".
There is also a user-based option to accept or reject posts that don't
match any keywords. IOW, if someone really wanted to be blind to all
miscellaneous traffice, (s)he could do so. Take a look at your options
for the list[3]. They're explained pretty well there. NOTE, if you
don't explicitly subscribe to anything, you'll receive everything.
I'll email the list owners to request the above filters to be added.
