Agent users probably already know this, but I thought I'd throw it out
there in case someone does not.

I am sure there is a similar way to do this with another newsreader,
but I only use Agent.  

Subscribe to soc.culture.jewish or soc.culture.israel or both if you
are on a fast connection, sometimes there are a lot of posts.  Then go
into group properties for alt.games.diablo and go to the crossposts
tab.  Click overide default settings, click "do not retrieve it" and
then if you retrieve headers in the soc groups BEFORE downloading
headers into this newsgroup, it will skip all of the stupid
crossposted sh.t because it already retrieved them once in the soc
newsgroups.  Voila, a clean (mostly) newsgroup.  Easier than trying to
killfile every dipshit that replies to the troll.
