I found the root problem.  I post-process all news files, and I
didn't know about texpire's -f option.  Now I added it (just the
hightlights):

bronger at wilson:~$ sudo su news -c "/usr/sbin/texpire -f"
comp.lang.python: 33885 articles deleted (0 duplicates), 12679 kept

alt.os.linux.ubuntu: 22584 articles deleted (0 duplicates), 8729 kept
message.id/: 101607 articles deleted, 121014 kept

I guess it will be much calmer now.  :-)

Tschö,
Torsten.
