Did anyone else have their newsgroups reset (for a better term)

I got this answer from "Newsguy" and am passing it along for anyone else
having this problem - mine "Reset" again on Mar 10, so I contacted them and
this is their answer and all my messages have re-appeared

When you first access a group you normally get the complete list of headers
and future access is usually limited to the newer content that comes in
afterwards. Outlook Express has a setting under "Tools - Options -
Maintenance tab" for

Delete news messages "5" days after being downloaded.

That limits what OE is going to hold onto. You can try increasing that
number or maybe un-checking it to see if that helps you out.

To get back to the full list, you need to reset the article information for
the group. From the same area select the "Clean Up Now..." button then use
the "Reset" option on the next popup window so that the header information
is cleared and reset in Outlook Express.
