Proposition:

The expire software should examine the Expires: field for the postings in
news.announce.newusers, *whether the system administrator asks it to or not*.

In other words, if system administrators want to junk the
news.announce.newusers postings, they should have to put in some effort to do
so.

This will decrease the number of "Help, where are the introductory articles?"
postings which plague every newsgroup.
