I use the following syntax in my global score file:

-10 pattern Newsgroups: [^,]+,[^,]+,[^,]+,[^,]+,[^,]+,.*

I don't understand it fully, but it seems to remove what I want. :-) I
think it's just looking for five or more commas in the Netsgroups header
(meaning it removes anything crossposted to more than 5 groups).

You can create/edit the global score file from the newsgroup selected list
with the "E" command.
