I've got a minor problem that I can't seem to solve by reading the news
documentation, and I don't have time to pour through the source.  We're
running a group batching arrangement [thanks, csg@pyramid] using the
following sys file lines:

leaf_main:inet,world,na,usa,ca,ba,comp,news,sci,misc,rec,soc,gnu,biz,\
unix-pc,bionet,usrgroup,alt:F:
leaf_rest:world,na,usa,ca,ba,!comp.all,!news.all,!sci.all,!misc.all,!rec.all,\
!soc.all,!alt.all,!ba.all,!ca.all,talk:F:

The idea is that leaf_main gets all groups other than talk, and leaf_rest gets
only talk.  The problem is that leaf_rest still gets anything crossposted from
talk to a non-talk group.  As a result, these articles are batched in both
leaf_main and leaf_rest.  Is there some way to keep these crossposted articles
out of leaf_rest?
