This doesn't answer your question, but I also find that because of my
habit of using expiry in mail groups, I often accidentally mark articles
as expirable in nntp groups as well, which doesn't make sense.  Maybe
Gnus should automatically convert expirable marks to read marks in nntp
groups (and other groups which don't allow article deletion)?  My
.newsrc.eld gets really cluttered because of my misbehaving fingers.
