When I decide to move article(s) from one group to another, I'm usually doing it because: a) my splitting rules failed to do the right thing; or b) I want to archive some articles and remove them from my ``regular'' groups to archiving ones. In one case or another, I don't see why moved articles should lose their status. I think it's rather inconvenient. However, if you (and some others) depend on this behavior, I believe it should be somehow customizable. -- Toni Drabik Warning: This article may be fatal if swallowed.
