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? -- John H.
