Don't know how you would go about it in OE, but I use Thunderbird and
it's easy to go into Profile/news/news/messageFilterRules.dat and add
the filter:

version="8"
logging="no"
name="Delete unwanted NG msgs"
enabled="yes"
type="4"
action="Mark read"
action="Ignore thread"
condition="OR (subject,contains,CMSG Cancel) OR (subject,contains,M.I)
OR (subject,contains,M,I) OR (subject,contains,M-I) OR
(subject,contains,M`I) OR (subject,contains,M'I) OR (subject,contains,M I)"

This is effective for all newsgroups, but putting it in that folder,
it's only needed one time -- at least as far as I know -- I did it a few
days ago and now can't see any of his old stuff and nothing new has
turned up in a few days. (The CMSG also hides the msgs which are
inserted when a newsgroup cancels the msg.) These group of subjects
should work for awhile since that's all he's been using for some time.
Who knows, perhaps he'll turn up with something new to add!

If your newsreader program can do regular expressions,
set the subject filter to ignore:

^M[,-`' \.]?I[,-`' \.]?5[,-`' \.]?P[,-`' \.]?

to also ignore people's responses, add:

^Re: M[,-`' \.]?I[,-`' \.]?5[,-`' \.]?P[,-`' \.]?

Note that this only filters out subjects that start with
things like M.I`5'P, not ones that have these strings
elsewhere than at the beginning.
Remove the ^ at the beginning to match the string anywhere.
(If I had done this, I would not have seen your post).

Too bad this is not true today of the endangered mountain *gorillas*,
surrounded as they are by the *guerrillas* who find their habitat a
safer place to lurk.

Very sorry to say that Thunderbird does not do regular expressions.

I use Thunderbird for mail (which it does very well), but do not
consider it to be useful for newsgroups. The same with Outlook Express -
it does mail okay, but that's about it. Windows Live Mail has pretty
much replaced OE, but I've never tried it for newsgroups.

For Xnews, the following 2 lines in the score file do the trick for me:
Score: -9999
Subject: ^(Re: )?M[,-`' \.]?I[,-`' \.]?5[,-`' \.]?P[,-`' \.]?
