I just did that one better.  Since all hist postings follow the
path "...!anatolia.mn.org!zuma!serdar", I just informed my feed
to change my sys file entry to look like:

	golem/anatolia.mn.org:to.golem,\
		...

Now they won't even take up my disk space (and if Ed catches
on, he might pass the request upstream).
