Google Reader deleting unread posts

I think I’ve just found out that Google Reader automatically deletes any unread items that are more than a month old. I wasn’t really expecting to find anything too important in those hundreds of unread posts, but I’m still a bit surprised. I’d quite like to think that if something has been ‘unread’, I would be able one day to read it.

Reader doesn’t actually delete old unread posts, it just marks them as read. If you show all items for a feed or a folder, you can scroll back to see even these old items.
