  There were also some patches to expire sent out a couple of years  ago
(or more) that allowed expiration  of different newsgroups at  different
times.  Sorry, I don't remeber who sent them out.

  As the new releases of news came  out I just kept porting the  patches
up to the current version  so I've had this  feature for over two  years
now.
