That is not the only problem.  Some people like to stay unsubscribed
from groups but look in on them when they have some extra time.
Additionally, there are those times when I see mention of an article
in a group to which I am unsubscribed but it nevertheless interests
me.  Both of these scenarios are affected by the proposed expiry method.
