Do the deli food messages have a "(was: supermarket)" suffix?  If so,
that would explain why they were selected.  If not, that's unexpected.
(Keep in mind that trn sometimes hides the "(was: ...)" string from the
user, so don't assume that it's not there just because it's not visible
in the selector.)

I believe that the single-plus version of that command should only
select individual articles, requiring double-plus for selecting a whole
thread.  If you allow the command to be inferred (i.e. by leaving off
the trailing "/+" while typing the command in the selector), trn will
infer either a "++" command or a "+" command based on what kind of
selector you're in (the former being chosen for the thread selector).

There are also rules for auto-selecting articles as a newsgroup grows
and articles get added to threads that had previously been selected (I
believe that trn should only apply the auto-selection to each individual
subject in a combined thread, but I don't remember for sure).  You can
disable the auto-checking for growth in a newsgroup via an option.
