   Adding the line
/.*amiga.*/h:j
to your kill file should do the trick.  This should kill everything
crossposted from there (I don't know about TO there, but it probably kills
those, too).  A similar line should work against comp.sys.ibm.pc, if
necessary.

   This was cribbed from somebody's suggestion on how to avoid the
spillovers from rec.arts.startrek and .drwho on rec.arts.sf-lovers.
