It's bad that the developers gave you a way to do it. There are three ways to specify group settings in Gnus that I know of: 1) gnus-parameters 2) group/topic parameters 3) global variables, e.g. gnus-spam-newsgroup-contents plus there may be others. I think Something Should Be Done (tm). Either move everyone to gnus-parameters and group/topic parameters, or provide a way to synchronize gnus-parameters with the global variables. At least, there should be a warning if you customize overlapping things. Ted
