The "set filter" command will filter text through any command you want.
e.g.
    :set filter='tr a-z A-Z'

will shift everything to upper case.  More to the point,

    :set filter='grep -v "^remmers:"'

will spare you from seeing anything that remmers types.

So if someone put    remmers:)   in a response, that response also
would be clipped?

The caret in "^remmers:" should mean "only if 'remmers:" begins in
the first column, so I'd guess it would only clip "remmers:)" if that
could be in that position on the line.

Yes, it would ony filter those lines that began with
remmers:

My question is, wouldn't that set-up allow any sound effects
from remmers to go through?

You could do

    :set filter='egrep -v "^remmers:|^<remmers "'

to get rid of most of the sound effects too.  However, it would
be more beneficial to do

    :set filter='egrep -v "^robh:|^<robh "'

Ahhh, that dangling carrot, er, caret - missed that first time.
  
Does robh make a lot of noise in party?

Nah, but with Rob a little bit goes a long way.  :)

this is very useful info that I'm just now discovering for the first time.
I"ll try it out; it sounds *exactly* like what I've been looking for!

Carson discovered the Eleventh Commandment while playing around with
filters: Thou shalt not filter the entire party.  That commandment
actually has teeth to back it up.

really? what is the party reaction in that case ...with teeth.

He couldn't log in until we copied his .profile to my directory, edited
out his partyops line, and then ftp'd it back into his directory.

now them's some teeth! 
  
Any reason why it worked that way?
