Nobody has voiced an opinion so far, so now that you have, I don't see a
problem changing the way I set the expiration.

That's due to a bug in the specific version of the tool we're using --
it (presumably) has been fixed, but updating our site to the
newest/current version is something that takes effort and coordination,
not to mention Michael's blessing [it's his box, so he sets the
rules...]

This might be a "new feature" of the latest version as well [keep
published, but remove from front page after ### days], but currently the
only way to manage if/when it drops off the front page is either (a)
manually, or (b) provide enough NEW content that it gets pushed off the
bottom...
