Kind of on topic, let me tell ya.
Anyone happen across a good Usenet filter that uses Bayesian filtering or
the similar, to filter out unwanted articles based upon a user's (or a
community's) preference.

The best you're going to get is a client side filter like nfilter. It takes
a bit to learn how to use it and set it up, but with it you can even filter
out the nymshifters by using parts of their header they can't change.
