which makes sense in the gnus microworld, but it's rather
different from how C-k is used in emacs normally.

for example.  say I have

    alt.sex.crumpets
    alt.sex.trilobites
    alt.sex.zymurgy

and I want to move crumpets below trilobites.  the natural
way to do it is C-k then C-y.  however, crumpets happens to
be linked in multiple topics, and after C-y, my groups look
like this:

    alt.sex.crumpets
    alt.sex.trilobites
    alt.sex.crumpets
    alt.sex.zymurgy

or maybe not.  gnus has decided to yank crumpets in a way I
don't expect and can't predict.  it's quite frustrating.
