I see two possibilities:

1) You're a troll trying to start a flame.

2) You don't understand how Usenet works.

(Assume #2)  Sometimes, particularly in "alt" groups such as
alt.home.repair, people (read: "trolls") will post missives that have
little or nothing to do with the topic.  If you choose to flame and
spew at these posters, then (1) *you* are off topic.  The topic of
your group is home repair, not "What is the topic of this newsgroup?"
(2... and more importantly) all you will accomplish is to encourage
that type of posting, since that's precisely the objective.  The
person doing the cross posting is hoping for *exactly* that reaction.

Some "newsgroups" exist for the single purpose of trolling other
groups, for example, alt.sports.soccer.manchester.united.scum-haters
is one such.  They like it when you "flood" them.  It's kinda like
suing a lawyer or pissing on a skunk.  The best approach is to ignore
that kind of thing... unless, of course, you're a troll.
