No, rather the opposite (if I get the meaning of kibo, never quite got 
kibology, either <g>).

The idea is filtering the overviews, while only they are d/led, vs. filtering 
the entire post, after it is d/led.  Thus, it's always the client doing it, 
and the only change from doing it manually in the case of having to d/l the 
entire post to do it is that the user doesn't have to do it.  IOW, if it 
would have gotten d/led b4 the user could figure out that they didn't want to 
see it in the current situation, the same would happen with the new header 
and body filtering, only it would be d/led and deleted without the user 
having to lift a finger, based on the filters, or, as we are now talking, 
scoring.  Server side wouldn't change a bit.  Net traffic wouldn't change a 
bit.  Only what the user had to manually delete (or otherwise process) would 
change.
