How very dare they.

Indeed. Each day at load time my newsreader expires articles - read or
unread - more than 28 days old. And I've been subscribed to pretty well
the same groups for years - certainly about 10. The number being expired
kept on dropping from around 1000 to about half - but over the last year
or so has crept back up to about 750.

Many thought moderated forums where the way forward - no spam or flames,
etc. But have perhaps now realised the drawbacks.
