The RSS feeds from RSS Technica have so-called "Etc" items which do not point to actual stories, but rather are just links to the web etc.
I would like to remove these from the feeds so that they do not get turned into articles.
One way I'd go about it is with a regular expression - the titles for these items all start with "Etc:".
Here is an example feed: http://feeds.arstechnica.com/arstechnica/apple/
Is there a BasicNewsRecipe method I could use to do this? I might have missed one when going through the API.

Thanks!
