This comes up on some of the other 'Planet *' aggregators I read --- and the
general consensus that it is a good thing to see a fuller and broader picture

narrowly-focussed mailing lists.  So call it a feature and not a bug.  

For filtering of RSS feeds see e.g. Yahoo Pipes (http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/)
