In the case of the Steinar> latter two the articles will never go away. OK, based on yesterday's advice, I'm now trying out expiry. Just to be absolutely clear: I'm using auto-expiry and when I want to preserve an article and keep it from being reaped by the expiry process, I'm using 'd'. Does this preserve the article, or will it magically disappear after the expiry time has lapsed, even though the 'E' mark has gone away.
