If your newsreader handles regular expressions (regex) in its killfile
setup, set "if "newsgroup" contains" to:

([^,]+,){2,}

That will kill off any articles crossposted to 3 groups or more. Then
it's just a case of picking off the remaining couple of lunatics and
life is back to normal. I just checked the post nunbers for the past
couple of days: near 800, of which over 600 were crossposted garbage.

Dave.

Thanks for the tip. I just killfile every screen name that cross posts.
That clears out the trolls and the idiots that don't remove NGs before
they reply.

It's a marvelous thing. Dropped from ~500 posts the last time I
attempted to download news, to around 30.
