repeating one more time, with some spurious capitalizations: IF you do
NOT mark articles as EXPIRABLE, Gnus will NEVER delete those ARTICLES.

You do not have to mark articles as expirable by hand. Gnus provides
two features, called ``auto-expire'' and ``total-expire'', that can help you
with this. In a nutshell, ``auto-expire'' means that Gnus hits @kbd{E}
for you when you select an article. And ``total-expire'' means that Gnus
considers all articles as expirable that are read. So, in addition to
the articles marked @samp{E}, also the articles marked @samp{r},
-@samp{R}, @samp{O}, @samp{K}, @samp{Y} and so on are considered
-expirable.
+@samp{R}, @samp{O}, @samp{K}, @samp{Y} (and so on) are considered
+expirable. @code{gnus-auto-expirable-marks} has the full list of
+these marks.
When should either auto-expire or total-expire be used? Most people
who are subscribed to mailing lists split each list into its own group
