Part 1: gnus-summary-limit-to-age
`gnus-summary-limit-to-age' (`/ t') in the summary buffer prompts for
a number with the string "Limit to articles within (in days): " or
"Limit to articles older than (in days): " (with prefix argument `C-u
/ t'). Looking at the code I noted that it accepts negative arguments
too in both cases, switching between older and younger [1].
WIBNI the prompt string would tell the user the possibility to enter
negative numbers? Here's a patch against gnus-sum.el:

Maybe the doc-string of `gnus-summary-limit-to-age' could mention
negative numbers too?
Part 2: <menu-bar> <Gnus> <Limit to> <Articles>
And the menu text "Gnus/Limit to/Articles" (`/ n') might be changed.
At least for me, the current label is inexpressively (of course
limiting deals with articles, but with _which_ articles?).

Bye, Reiner.
[1] As my lisp knowledge is quite limited: could someone review this?

Thanks for the patch; I've applied it to Oort Gnus v0.08 (i. e., CVS).
