I like the simple approach we have now; whatever marks are associated with the article are preserved across the move. That those marks might be interpreted differently due to the use of total or auto expire is something for the user to deal with. Since neither auto nor total expire is set as a default, presumably a user who sets them for a given group knows what she is doing. I think that changing marks behind the user's back only leads to (probably unpleasant) surprise. -- Dave Goldberg Post: The Mitre Corporation\MS B325\202 Burlington Rd.\Bedford, MA 01730 Phone: 781-271-3887 Email: dsg@mitre.org
