No.  Currently the article expiry for plug.* is set to 60 years or
thereabouts, so future posts won't be affected.  If we get disc space
pressure or speed issues on shameless, we may have to look into
changing this, but for the moment I don't see the point in expiring
old posts.

I'm also content to sit back and let the newsgroups populate
themselves with new messages from the list, unless there's a pressing
reason why I should feed the mail archives into the news server?

Cameron.
