Doing twit filtering in this manner forces it upon all of your downlinks as 
well.  A better solution is to configure twit filtering in your editor.  
GoldED has this ability.  Another possibility is a program that reads your 
message bases and deletes the twit messages there.  The big difference being 
that this way passes all of the messages on to your downlinks.
