Ah. Another tactic I use, is that if a post is crossposted to 3 or more
groups, I don't see it. Killfile rule is based on two or more , in the
newsgroups: line.

How would I enter that in the field? Would I use the asterisk wild card
denotation?

Yes. Hang on a second:
In slrn, I'm using:
%BOS
sco -9999
Newsgroups: ,.*,
%EOS

I'm not real clear on why that syntax works, but it seems to.

Just what would be the exact characters? That sounds like a great filter.

That'll depend on the newsreader. I'm surprised I didn't use:
Newsgroups: *,*,*
....which would match anything, a comma, anything, another comma, and
anything (including yet more commas) from a regexp perspective.
Maybe googling for "slrn crosspost score" would be in order, or
whatever newsreader you're using.

My killfile is many thousands of lines long, so I may have got the
wrong entry.

Oh, uh-oh, shoot. Sorry that this is OT stuff ........ ;-)

What, HERE? OT?
