May one be so bold as to suggest that instaed of create more work for
Raymond, that you hassle your sys-admins to fix your news reader so it
respects the "Expiry:" header line?

Raymond's excellent FAQ hangs around in c.b.i.p.d at our site for 35 (?)
days from posting, just as Raymond intends it to (but then, we've got a
"real" news reader on a real computer - and I'm not going to start a
stupid flame war by saying which either is!).
