... more descriptions of ways to prematurely expire articles ...

I hope you don't make a habit of doing this with all.announce.  While
net.women & net.jokes almost certainly don't need long expire times in their
articles, other newsgroups should probably be left alone.  I would suggest
expiring newsgroups in this manner only if those newsgroups have no need
of long expirations...
