Ouch! ;-)
I did know that the news server had a limited time of storage, but
(obviously!) I did *not* really understand the difference between `!' and '*'.

Yes, looking again at the 'info' pages, I see:
`!'
Marked as ticked (`gnus-ticked-mark').
"Ticked articles" are articles that will remain visible always.
What's incredible is that I have not noticed this until now! Maybe my
local NNTP server recently shortened the retention period ...
But no matter. Thanks, David, for clearing this up for me!
I now understand.
On to using `*' ... thanks again!
