Would someone confirm that these filters work:

> Yes, it's fairly easy to filter out individual lines by editing       the filter inside the perl scripts to make them go away. I have       done this many, many times. The only trick is that when you       upgrade you might lose your change, so save a copy or diff that       you can re-apply later.
