I do it by actually subbing to the NG which is crossposted to, and then
create msg rules for it and don't d/l from the server or whathave you.
Example one of mine is alt.politics (buncha flamin whacko's over there
btw.) and I have it d/l, mark as read and then delete - It does show up
on your side menu of NG's your subbed to, but it sure makes a better
kill filter.

Also, there are times when it doesn't seem worth posting because the
group has been taken over by a minority of posters just here to stir
up trouble and drive off the people with something to say.


Ah, but that's the BEST time to post - in order to bring back the
order and
sanctity of the group.

I do wish that agent and OE had better killfilters for crossposted
posts.
As in a rule that states that posts that have a crossposted to
"groupx" get
deleted or do not get downloaded.
