[gclist] Re: Articles expiring too fast!

[Charles Fiterman]

It strikes me that a simple heuristic might help. News groups
like talk.politics.misc with very large volumes would actually
benefit from a faster expiration while those with small volumes
like comp.compiler.misc would be hurt. So a first shot would
be to tune the expiration to the volume of the group.

A minor twiddle on this would be not to kill any article within
three days of its getting a followup.
