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.

Same here. One thing that could possibly work is deleting the
lugnet.general.snm (I think) file in the lugnet.com subfolder of the
news subfolder of the Netscape user folder (good grief, that's much
better in 'compish':

feisar™:system folder:Preferences:Netscape ƒ:News:host-lugnet.com:lugnet.general.snm
