Only show .htaccess not all hidden files

I would like to be able to view only .htaccess files and not all the other hidden files and folders in Finder. Is there anyway to accomplish this?

I used the "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE" command in Terminal, but there are so many files I don't care to see (.DS_Store, etc).

Thanks!

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.1)

This is a major flaw in my eyes for Apple and MacOS X. I have my own server and I constantly work with CMS's, older websites, newer websites and .htaccess is a must.

I see and understant this period-for-hidden-files but is there a way to EXCLUDE .htaccess from beeing hidden?
