Hi,
Today is April 23.  I have some files like these:

57837   39 -rw-rw-r--  1 news     notes       39906 Apr 15 09:34 ./1179
57675   30 -rw-rw-r--  1 news     notes       30310 Apr 15 09:35 ./1180

57839   30 -rw-rw-r--  1 news     notes       30315 Apr 15 09:41 ./1186
57840   30 -rw-rw-r--  1 news     notes       30309 Apr 15 09:42 ./1187

(I even have some that are older!)
They are in a local newsgroup called uiuc.cs.maint.nfs .  Looking at the
explist, I show:

uiuc.cs.maint.nfs               x       4-7     -

Now, from what I know, this means that the articles will be removed from
our disk in 4 days, but as you can see it's not happening.  Can anyone
explain why?
