Here is an example of what can happen. I've left gnus open on a a gmane group. Went to work on something else for a while. When I come back gnus has lost its connection to gmane. When I try to leave the group with c, or `ZZ' or any of the commands that are used for leaving groups, gnus won't let me because it cannot contact the server. I have to leave by changing buffers or some other ungnuslike way. It just makes me wonder... is it really required to contact a server in order to leave a group? Can't whatever information that is involved be cashed on gnus or something until the connection is restored?
