Well, I did try: unsubscribe, quit Communicator, relaunch, then
resubscribe. Somehow it kept everything. They were still there. I
*might* try deleting lugnet.com, but I want to avoid loosing all the
read/unread stats from the other groups.
I have also tried setting the various newsgroup config parms (something
like 'keep only the most recent [500] articles'), but so far I don't see
how to trigger a mass purge of the older stuff.
