I'm in agreement here, I'd like to be able to set per group expire
settings for the same reason. Lots of groups have threads that I'd
like to be able to keep saved on my computer while I'd like to be able
to expire binary groups according to what my news host's retention
rate is for that group (which vary's from what I've seen).
