That you believe the gnus function and variable names bear any relation to what they do (if anything) or represent. The other thing you might be doing wrong is believing USENET, or what's left of it, is worthy of your time. JC> Then the active file is read and I get a K for each group on the server JC> and nothing for each group I am subscribed to. By "nothing" I assume you mean an empty space, e.g., 86398: gmane.emacs.gnus.general K 30: gmane.emacs.gnus.patches K 262: gmane.emacs.gnus.semi If so, press "u" to subscribe/unsubscribe. Then "q" back to the *Group* buffer. Yes, the linked command to "u" is "gnus-browse-unsubscribe-current-group" which you would think does the *opposite* of subscribing, but see my earlier comment about gnus making any logical sense.
