You bet.

But here's what I really need to know: how can I turn on a message
filter in google groups? That would really help a lot.

Well, I am not familiar with google groups; so, I posed the question to
my son, who in turn, posed the question to a friend ...

Short answer is: "NewsProxy", possibly used in conjunction with
"Hampster." (will give you "God-like powers on filtering.")

However, their long answer included the fact that it would be much
easier to set up a real newsreader through a free news server ...

Sorry, best I could do ... I really didn't really understand all they
were willing to explain ... you will excuse me for now wishing to ...

However, to the best of, even, their knowledge, there is "no easy way"
to do what you want.
