Thanks, that's somewhat helpful, but I need to be able to preserve
marks.  I'd like to be able to traverse a group's articles and
"backend move" some of them whenever a predicate matches (i.e. date is
more than a year old).  Any suggestions for the easiest way to go
about this?

If there were date based limits, I suppse that might be another way to
go about it.

Thanks
