i have a group gmane.comp.hardware.arm.lpc2100 subscribed.  its entry in
leafnode/config is:

  groupexpire = gmane.comp.hardware.arm.lpc2100 24800

later comes an entry:  "groupexpire = gmane.* 33", which i thought was
the correct order:  specific first, general/default last.  now the
"texpire -vvv" run showed:

  gmane.comp.hardware.arm.lpc2100: 2872 articles deleted, 1237 kept

this shouldn't have happened, i think. does the later default entry
override the more specific entry?  i verified that about 1240 articles
are left in the spool directory after fetchnews.

and why doesn't the suffix ", interesting" appear although i read the
group every other day?

(i changed to "groupexpire = gmane.comp.hardware.arm.lpc2100 -1" a
few minutes ago, but haven't yet tried it).
