I like to read over the groups when I first join, so I tend to lurk for 
a while until I get to know the groups.  Although, sometimes I jump 
right in, especially if I join a group with a particular subject in mind.

I belong to a group that has a few hundred messages a day, and many are 
OT.  I filter anything with
OT OT- ot/ etc
into a separate folder (although there is still a lot of OT stuff not 
marked that way).  It does help a bit.
