That's correct. What happened when I changed it from being the primary
to secondary select method?
The manual says: "The select methods listed in this variable are *in
many ways* just as native as the `gnus-select-method' server." What
does *in many ways* mean?

Unfortunately I don't have an old newsrc.eld.
Which files should I delete to come back to a clean setup? I can see
that my newsrc.eld file contains the setting I've made when
customizing the Group parameters, but that's nothing vital.
I don't have a any marks on newsgroup postings, so that won't be an
issue. I want my old mail preserved (of course).
I think Gnus is great, but it's somewhat hard to understand. I've read
through the Info pages with great interest - they're written in a
brilliant tone - but I'm still having problems with understanding
what's going on at times...
But I guess that's just because it's such a large program.
