I like this alot.  Especially filtering off-topic and test.

Suggestion: How about having an alternate "complete/old style" page linked

Maybe it's just a coincidence - but for most of the times that I've looked at
the front page today, it tells me more about what isn't being shown, than what
is. I'd prefer to see at least four messages all of the time, with perhaps the
'not shown' text in a smaller font above or below.

Yah.  A smaller font would go a long way towards making it less jarring, but I
suspect that the best (as in 'least jarring') solution would be to have the
main page (and derivatives thereof) actually showing the number of messages it
claims to.  I'm not sure how hard that would be, implementation-wise, though.
