Would you even *see* posts in an old thread? (I wouldn't.)

Yes. Why wouldn't you?

For me, "old" threads (anything older than a day or two or five) don't
show up since they're on the bottom, and I don't scroll unless I'm
looking for something.

Does your newsreader have a "Next unread" button?

Plus, my newsreader expires articles after a month, automatically (by
default).

It doesn't expire them, just removes them from your computer.

They still exist on your server and if someone posts a reply to a thread
which no longer exists on your computer that reply will be downloaded to
your computer by your newsreader. If that doen't happen, you have your
reader settings screwed up.
