Hmm, I guess this was general enough to be worth posting the answer to
after all...  There is no entirely direct way to do it, but one can get
much the same effect by either (a) using the Ln flag to send only stuff
posted within n hops of you, or (b) using the exclusion feature of the
first field to send only stuff that has not passed through your main
feed sites.  (a) is probably the preferred solution for sites that really
are leaf sites, while (b) is better if there are subtrees growing under
those sites.
