Correct.  Our expiration times are not based on group name, but rather are
based on article type (text/binary/size/# of parts).  For example, a text
message posted to alt.binaries.x will last as long as a text message
posted to alt.test.

The expiration times at http://www.rationalreview.com/news are accurate
and updated hourly.
