This may be a circumstance of my system, but I just had sexpire.exe run
amuck on my news spool. It gets kicked off by the scheduler, normally at
5am, but somehow it started at 10:30p. I run (ran) it with the -t
parameter so it would respect /mexp parameters in the forum files, but
it ignored those completely. Net result, I lost about 20 megs of news
before I caught it.

I say it may be my system because I am running under DV, and I have seen
stranger things happen when something goes unstable. (Like Waffle not
recognizing ANY commands.)

At any rate, I went back to my old expire.com program which never caused
problems.
