Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by this.  The problematic articles
are the ones that have already expired, and I don't know how to move
those to any other newsgroup.  As far as the as-yet-unexpired
articles, what good does it do to move those anywhere?  Or are you
saying that, in the future, if I want to avoid this problem, I should
move the articles to a different group rather than expiring them in
the current one?
