You can filter but I'm not sure whether it will give you this - though
having not downloaded then via leafnode you could then get them using pan
via the 'real' newsserver if you use both newssservers within pan. Once
leafnode is installed,

    man filterfile

e.g I have

# killing OS flamewars
newsgroups = alt.os.linux.mandriva
pattern = ^Newsgroups:.*[, ]alt.os.windows-xp
action = kill
# get rid of massively crossposted items
newsgroups = .*
maxcrosspost = 6
action = kill
# guess!
newsgroups = .*sex.*
maxbytes = 50000
action = kill

I use leafnode 2 - not sure how much of this is in leafnode 1 but version 2
is pretty stable! There's also delaybody mode but I've not used that -
though that is on a group basis rather than a posting length
