One simple way to help here is to list the matching sequences in order of 
the number of cross references to them, largest number first.  There must 
be a large number of sequences that cross-reference the Fibonacci numbers, 
but very few that cross-reference them mod 9.  This isn't a perfect 
solution, but it is easy way to help substantially.
