Others have covered the specifics of NNTP here; and at least one person
has re-iterated my point that if many/most people are expected to, or
choose to, filter ITPs, then the "sensible default" would be for them
not to come to the list in the first place, but on the specific
technical point of filtering: it's not simple to reliable filter all ITP
traffic anyway. You can match on the subject, but you will miss any
replies that change it. When I was doing this whatever I ended up with
didn't reach 100% accuracy.
