EXCEPT when tagged

Title:
EXCEPT when tagged

Area:
Notifications/Message Settings

Summary:
It would be nice to be able to have all the posts of my friend sent to my inbox.... EXCEPT those darn Twitter imports.

Description:
I prefer the 'neatness' of the inbox to scrolling thru page after page of the reading page. I've found it much more efficient less time consuming. With the inbox I can quickly delete the entries I'm either not interested in or am done with.

What I can't stand is getting spammed, either in my inbox or on my reading page, by Twitter imports! I can't avoid them on my reading page. And if I track a friend's every post they end up in my inbox. The only way to keep them out of my inbox is to either stop tracking my friend completely - which means I miss out on all their other posts. Or to set up to track each of their other tags - which is impractical in the extreme.

I'd like to be able to check the box that notifies me whenever someone makes a new post and addition, BLOCKS that notification if it's marked with one of the tags in the drop down menu already available in the first option "posts a new entry tagged". That way I can get all of my friend's posts in my inbox EXCEPT the ones I don't want to see (like those darn Twitter imports).

I like it, and the functionality should apply wider than that. It would be very nice to effectively set up some reading "filters" as a kind of tag search.
