The "feelingly" inconsistent state with buffers
all over the place and changes that are done
but then reoccurs the next time you check was
a source of constant confusion/frustration in
my early Gnus days. Without understanding it,
really, I made a lot of in-between functions to
force it into what I suspect is a very
heavy-handed mold, but rather that then doing
things with the sensation maybe it isn't really
done, or maybe it is, and something else isn't,
and what have you.

Here is a Summary buffer example:

    (defun gnus-summary-exit-and-update-group ()
      (interactive)
      (kill-buffer)
      (gnus-summary-save-newsrc)
      (gnus-switch-to-group-buffer) ) ; [1]

Here is all my other Gnus [2]. If anyone wants
to wade thru it, in search of the odd nugget,
or likewise "hey, that isn't necessary",
feel free.

(prolonged silence)

OK, so no one wants to do that. Why not?!
