I try to keep our local news for a long time, and uses an explist file like

/expired/ x 14     -
/bounds/  x 0-1-90 -
rec,soc,talk,misc,junk x 6 -
local     x 1-60- -
all       x 9    -

What I was wondering about was, if the expiration time of 60 days to the 
local news will be honered with "/expired/ x 14". Should it be 
"/expired/ x 60" ?

BTW, does "/expired/ x 14" mean that history lines are kept *exactly* 14 days,
or does it mean that they are kept 14 days after the article was expired ?
