Using patterns in incoming.conf for exclusion?

I do have wanttrash set to true.  I wasn't sure if that would affect 
whether or not articles matching the pattern would be accepted or if it 
trumps all other avenues of filtering.

I realize that I will still be accepting the articles, but would prefer 
not to propagate them to downstream peers.  I can control that in the 
newsfeeds file, but in the situation I had yesterday it would have been 
easier to just add an exclude pattern to the one inbound peer who was 
feeding me those unwanted articles.
