As far as I know, the best anti-crosspost tool
available to Windows users is nFilter
http://www.nfilter.org/

It is free. You have to download it, and set it to
pull your NewsGroup downloads and then send them to
your regular newsreader. You can set it to filter out
any posts that are cross-posted to certain groups.

My favourite newsreader is Gravity, formerly from the
now-defunct MicroPlanet, it is now open source and
available free at http://www.microplanet.com/ It has
the best filtering that I have seen on any newsreader.

If anyone knows of similar tools, especially for
Windows users, please suggest them, with URLs, if
possible.
