I just saw texpire deleting articles it should not delete...

F.e. I have this in my /etc/leafnode/config

Oldest article in de.alt.netdigest now is from 29th April 2001.  Same
for other groups with groupexpire of 365 days.  Eeek, I lost half of
my news archive :-(  Well, groups.google.com exists and it's not a
