Filters only work on incoming EMAIL. To hide all the undesirable messages
in a usenet news base you must use SCORING. Give the offending words/search
patterns a negative score and they will not bother you any longer.

See "Using Score Files" in the Yarn docs. Post here again if you still have
problems.
