Well, "how much was removed" is a simple 'none' for a "keep forever"
newsgroup (or one in which the first article never gets expired).  I
think a separate utility to produce the "how much is there" would be
better and more generally useful, I don't want to run expire just to see
how many articles there are in a newsgroup.  Of course, I'm biassed
because I never see the end stats anyway (I run programs immediately
after EXPIRE which tidy up the remaining space, and they erase or scroll
the screen).

(I think you're right about LSI being in the SNEWS release, I didn't
remember where I got it from...)
