[reasons snipped]

I feel that makes good sense.

I just tried a mock-up of this.  However, for my taste, whether on my
normal 132 column screen, or a std 80, having 3 columns of numbers
makes the display rather 'busy'.

I would imagine I'd find it preferable to have the expiry displayed
in the Select Threads and/or Display Article screen(s).  There
would probably be space available somewhere in the top 3 rows.

However, Snews doesn't currently load the expiry info, so it's
more than a 10-liner, regardless of quibbles about the presentation.
