Do you want to make that figure 100% without needing to constantly add
extra names to your killfile ?
(1) Subscribe to eg. soc.culture.indian or soc.culture.pakistan
(2) Make sure that newsgroup is listed before ACF.
(3) In Agent/Free Agent go to Folder - Default Properties - Usenet
Crossposting and tick "Enable Crosspost Checking" and "Skip the
header".
Now, after you download from the earlier group(s) the crossposts
shouldn't appear at all in ACF.
No need to read from the earlier newsgroup. Just delete from time to
time or set your purge options to do this automatically.
Regards, John.
