Here's an example from my score file. It drops everything but posts that
mention two games that consume more of my life than needed:
comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic {
2 Subject: xcom
2 Subject: x-com
2 Subject: panther
2 Subject: sp1
2 Subject: sp:
2 Subject: sp2
2 Subject: sp 2
2 Subject: sp 1
2 Subject: sp I
-1 pattern Subject: $
}
If I wanted to retrieve the posts I'm interested in and all new posts
(not follow ups) the last line would be:
-1 pattern Subject: re:
I would reccommend doing this for a week or three until you see how
posters use the subject line and there maybe some regular posters you
would like to read.
I'm sure a better shorter more elegant expression is possible but I've
found complicated regexp's can take up more cycles than doing a line at a
time.
