Can Auctioneer be set to filter out auctions by seller?

I'm a chanter, and use Auctioneer + Enchantrix to automate my prices and keep them relevant to the current market, but for a few months, some dude named Goodbuy has been flooding the AH with obscenely overpriced individual illusion dusts, which pollute my scan data. Do any of you know of a way to get Auctioneer to automatically discard anything sold by him?

Use Aux which doesn't have an easily manipulable history :)

tbh, I had begun looking at Aux earlier today for that very reason. =)

I know you have said that you have no desire to modify existing AddOns to use Aux for market data (over Auctioneer), but do you know of anyone who does or has?

If not, I used to hack TI graphing calculators back in the day, and have a copy of the old Guide to WoW AddOn programming that was put out during Wrath. Do you know how much of that guide applies here?

Most of it, probably. The challenge of modifying existing addons is not so much the wow programming per se but to wade through thousands of lines of uncommented code to figure out which part you need to change.

Anyway, while I don't care to add support for other addons I might just add the features to aux if they're useful enough. Like recently I've added reagent prices:
