Wasn't planning on it - the intention was to clear out really short things 
generated from channel flipping quickly, and then allow the autoexpirer to 
delete longer ones as it needed space.  If you don't want longer programs 
cluttering up the listings, though, I think you can switch to the 'Default' 
program group and they won't show up.
