Well, this would be fine too (ie, better than removing them and is an
acceptable solution).  However, it will hide them from the user will
it not?  IE, the user will never know to look there...

This should probably be solved with some sort of warning:  "Yo...  You
have cached articles in the groups you're wiping...  What should I do
with them? (del/mov/neg/abort):" with the default being mov?

Sort of a pain.  I think there is no way of doing something smart
(without implementing the negative numbers scheme, which would be
cool) without at least telling (read "warning") the user if not asking
him what to do...
