You need to work with your news feed to selectivly choose what you want them to
feed to you.  Modifing your local sys file only tells your local inews what you
consider "junk".

Another option that has been brought up before, is to run an expire on the 
unwanted groups following the feed.  If you are not a leaf node you may want
to keep them around for at least a day or two for the down stream sites.
