The result is a "new" newserver with much lower article numbers in such groups as comp.dcom.sys.cisco and the like, so gnus reports empty newsgroups. Other than manually editing the .newsrc.eld file (not so hard, I don't read that much news, but I'm lazy), is there any sane way to synchronize to the new server, bearing in mind that I have a number of articles in the cache, which ultimately will clash with newly arriving articles (someday)?
